SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 24, 2026, Commerce published the Final Results of the
2023-2024 administrative review of the AD order on Granular PTFE from
India.\1\ On February 25, 2026, we received timely filed ministerial
error allegations from Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFCL), the
mandatory respondent in this administrative review.\2\ We are amending
the Final Results to correct certain ministerial errors raised by
GFCL.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from India: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024, 91 FR
8827 (February 24, 2026) (Final Results), and accompanying Issues
and Decision Memorandum (IDM).
\2\ See GFCL' Letter, ``Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited's
Ministerial Error Comments for the Final Results,'' dated February
25, 2026 (GFCL's Ministerial Error Allegation).
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Analysis of Ministerial Error Allegations
for the Final Results,'' dated concurrently with this notice
(Ministerial Error Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
defines a ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' \4\ With respect to final results of administrative
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any . . . ministerial
error by amending the final results of review . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Errors
In its ministerial error comments, GFCL alleged that Commerce made
a ministerial error in its calculation of U.S. Net price for export
price sales.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See GFCL's Ministerial Error Allegation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We agree with GFCL that we made a ministerial error regarding the
calculation of U.S. Net price for export price sales in the Final
Results, pursuant to section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f),
and have amended our calculations to correct this error.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Ministerial Error Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a complete discussion of the ministerial error allegation, as
well as Commerce's analysis, see the Ministerial Error Memorandum.\7\

Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to

Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial error described above, we
determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin
for GFCL exists for the period March 1, 2023, through February 29,
2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these amended
final results of review to interested parties within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final
results of this review. The amended final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the amended final results of this review and for
future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 16636]]
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because GFCL reported the entered
value for their U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales to the
total entered value of those sales. Where an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by GFCL
for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the amended final results
of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at
the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following amended deposit requirements will be effective for
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these
amended final results of this administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for GFCL
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise
exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the producer or
exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer
of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers and exporters will continue to be 10.36 percent ad valorem,
the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\9\ These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the
countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
Dated: March 30, 2026.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance.
