SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 8, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review in the Federal Register and invited
interested parties to comment.\1\ Due to the lapse in appropriations
and the Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce
tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.\2\
Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically
filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal
Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all
deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days.\3\ On
February 10, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results
by 53 days.\4\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now
April 6, 2026.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by
interested parties in this administrative review are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached as the appendix to this
notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and our analysis of the comments
received from interested parties, Commerce made certain changes to the
preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculations for mandatory
respondents, Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Kibar Americas,
Inc., and Kibar Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, Assan) and Teknik
Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. (Teknik).\7\ For further details on the changes
made since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See the Issues and Decision Memorandum for descriptions of
these changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Companies Not Selected for Individual Examination
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for companies not
selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)
of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act,
which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when determining the weighted-average
dumping margin for companies that were not individually examined in an
administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that
the all-others rate should be calculated by weight averaging the
weighted-average dumping margins determined for individually examined
respondents, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available.
Consistent with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin for the non-examined company using the
simple average of the calculated rates of the mandatory respondents,
which are not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of
facts available.\8\ The non-examined company subject to this review is
ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ With two respondents under examination, Commerce normally
calculates: (A) a weighted-average of the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; (B) a
simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average
of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the
examined respondents using each company's publicly-ranged U.S. sales
values for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as
the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters.
See, e.g., Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53662
(September 1, 2010), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum
at Comment 1. As complete publicly ranged sales data were not
available, Commerce based the rate for the non-examined companies on
the simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the examined respondents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margins for the period April 1, 2023, through
March 31, 2024:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results to interested parties within five days after public
announcement, or if there is no public announcement, 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)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Assan's and Teknik's
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the
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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with Commerce's clarification of its assessment
practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
any of the above-referenced respondents for which they did not know the
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 of 4.85 percent ad valorem \10\ if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Order, 86 FR at 22142.
\11\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the company not selected for individual examination, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate all applicable entries of subject merchandise
during the POR at the rate listed in the table above.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
administrative 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 cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the company-specific cash deposit rate for
Assan and Teknik will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review for each respondent
(except, if that rate is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be
zero); (2) for producers or exporters 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 they were
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or a
prior segment of the proceeding but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 4.85 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\12\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Order, 86 FR at 22142.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 this review period.
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 (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an 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 the return/destruction of APO materials, or conversion
to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2)
and 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: April 6, 2026.
