SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 3, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results and invited interested parties to comment.\1\ Due
to the lapse in appropriations and 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\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now April 7, 2026.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs 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 an appendix to this notice. Based on our
review of the record and comments received from interested parties, we
did not make any changes from the Preliminary Results.
Final Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty (AD) order when
there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for which liquidation is suspended.\6\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\7\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for
the review period.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See, e.g., Dioctyl Terephthalate from the Republic of Korea:
Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR
24758 (April 24, 2023); see also Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-
to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January
24, 2023).
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 3, 2025, we published our intent to rescind, in part,
this administrative review for Shinkong Materials Technology
Corporation (SMTC) and Shinkong Synthetic Fiber Corporation (SSFC),
which we consider to be a single entity (SMTC/SSFC).\9\ The POR entry
totals reflected in the Attachment of the CBP Data Memorandum reflected
no POR entries of subject merchandise from these companies.\10\ We
invited parties to comment, and we received no comments. Accordingly,
in the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the
POR, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review for SMTC/SSFC,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Preliminary Results, 90 FR at 48041.
\10\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Customs Entry Data,'' dated
September 27, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period July 1, 2023, through June
30, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/Exporter dumping margin
(percent)

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results of review to interested parties
within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined,
and 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), we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Nan
Ya Plastics Corporation 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 of 2.40 percent ad valorem,\11\ if there is
no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the 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
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the
following cash 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 the final results of
this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the company subject to this review
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in
these finals results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a
prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the LTFV investigation, but
the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will continue to be 2.40 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation for this proceeding.\12\ These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 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 duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary
[[Page 18825]]
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 the terms of an APO is a violation which
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are being issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
