SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 26, 2011, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on aluminum extrusions from China.\1\
On May 5, 2025, Commerce published the notice of the opportunity to
request a review of the Order.\2\ On June 25, 2025, based on timely
requests for review, Commerce published the notice of initiation of
this administrative review.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China:
Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011) (Order).
\2\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 90 FR 18962 (May 5,
2025).
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 90 FR 26967 (June 25, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceeding by 47 days,\4\ and, 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a complete description of the events that followed the
initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\6\
A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
provided as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
[[Page 20107]]
via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results of the Administrative Review of the Countervailing Duty
Order on Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China;
2024,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the Order are aluminum extrusions from
China. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties that
requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date
of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On
September 23, 2025, the petitioner \7\ submitted a timely letter
withdrawing its requests for review of 79 companies.\8\ Because the
withdrawal of review requests was timely filed, and no other parties
requested a review of these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review of the Order with
respect to these 79 companies. For a list of these companies for which
all requests for review were timely withdrawn, see Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The petitioner is the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade
Committee.
\8\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Partial Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated September 23, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will
rescind an administrative review when there are no reviewable suspended
entries. Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) information, we preliminarily determine that 12 companies subject
to outstanding requests for review had no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR. On December 10, 2025, we notified parties
that we intended to rescind this administrative review with respect to
the 12 companies which have no reviewable suspended entries.\9\ No
parties commented on the notification of intent to rescind the review,
in part. We are, therefore, rescinding the administrative review of
these companies which have no reviewable suspended entries. For further
information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum the at ``Partial
Rescission of Administrative Review'' section. For a list of these
companies with no reviewable suspended entries, see Appendix III.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind, In Part,''
dated December 10, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we
preliminarily find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that
the subsidy is specific.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), Commerce determined a
countervailable subsidy rate for the following six exporters and/or
producers of aluminum extrusions from China that refused delivery of
and/or did not respond to the quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaire:
(1) Anji Chang Hong Chain Manufacturing, (2) Assa Abloy (Zhongshan)
Security Technology, (3) Dezhou Huoamei Windows and Doors, (4) Ewellix
Motion Technologies, (5) Ningbo Lianda Winch, and (6) Shanghai Zesheng
Automotive Technology. We determined the countervailable subsidy rate
for these non-responsive companies based entirely on facts available
with adverse inferences, in accordance with sections 776(a) and 776(b)
of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, including our reliance, on facts otherwise available with
adverse inferences pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine the following net countervailable
subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2024, through December 31,
2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy
rate
Company (percent ad
valorem)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anji Chang Hong Chain Manufacturing........................ 164.29
Assa Abloy (Zhongshan) Security Technology................. 164.29
Dezhou Huoamei Windows and Doors........................... 164.29
Ewellix Motion Technologies................................ 164.29
Ningbo Lianda Winch........................................ 164.29
Shanghai Zesheng Automotive Technology..................... 164.29
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in preliminary results within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because Commerce relied entirely on facts available with adverse
inferences to select subsidy rates, there are no company-specific
calculations to disclose.
Public Comment
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), we have modified the deadline for
interested parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than
21 days after the date of publication of this notice. Rebuttal briefs,

memorandum that will accompany the final results in this administrative
review. We request that interested parties include footnotes for
relevant citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.

inform parties of the scheduled date for the hearing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will
determine, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall
assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by
this review. We intend to issue these 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).
For the companies listed in Appendix II and III for which the
review is being rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the
cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period
of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to
CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.
For the companies remaining under review, Commerce will instruct
CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at the
subsidy rates calculated in the final results of this review. 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.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amount indicated above with regard to shipments of
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of
this review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to
continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at
the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the
company, as appropriate. These cash deposit instructions, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is extended, we intend to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of our analysis of the issues raised in the case briefs, within 120
days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
