SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 5, 2025, Commerce published 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\ 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.\3\
Between January 16, and April 1, 2026, Commerce extended the final
results deadline by 60 days.\4\ On March 3, 2026, Commerce issued its
post-preliminary analysis and invited interested parties to comment.\5\

Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum and are listed in Appendix I.
Changes From the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested
parties, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for
Dingsheng \8\ and
[[Page 20406]]
Zhongji.\9\ For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Dingsheng, collectively, consists of Jiangsu Dinsheng New
Materials Joint-Stock Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou Dingsheng Import&Export
Co., Ltd.; Dingsheng Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Trading Co.,
Limited; Hangzhou Teemful Aluminium Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou Five Star
Aluminium co., Ltd.; Inner Mongolia Liansheng New Energy Material
Co., Ltd.; InnerMongolia Xinxing New Energy Material Co., Ltd.;
Dingheng New Materials Co., Ltd.; and Thai Ding Li New Materials
Co., Ltd. See Memorandum, ``Dingsheng Final Results Analysis
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
\9\ Zhongji, collectively, consists of Jiangsu Zhongji
Lamination Materials Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials
Co., (HK) Limited; Jiangsu Huafeng Alumionum Industry Co., Ltd.;
Anhui Zhongji Battery Foil Sci&Tech Co., Ltd.; Anhui Maximum
Aluminum Co., Ltd.; and Sichuan Wanshun Zhongji Aluminium Industry
Co., Ltd. See Memorandum, ``Zhongji Final Results Analysis
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that five companies
demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate.\10\ For these final
results, we continue to determine that the five non-examined companies
are eligible for a separate rate. No interested parties commented on
our calculation of a separate rate in the Preliminary Results.
Therefore, our methodology for calculating a separate rate remains the
same as in the Preliminary Results.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Preliminary Results PDM at the ``Separate Rates''
section for more details.
\11\ Id. at 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
In accordance with Commerce's policy, the China-wide entity will
not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce
self-initiates, a review of the China-wide entity.\12\ Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide entity, and Commerce did not self-
initiate a review of the entity, the China-wide entity is not under
review, and the weighted-average dumping margin for the China-wide
entity (i.e., 105.80 percent) is not subject to change.\13\ As in the
Preliminary Results, Because these five companies did not demonstrate
their eligibility for a separate rate, we continue to find five
companies to be part of the China-wide entity, and they will be subject
to the China-wide entity rate.\14\

Disclosure
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b), we intend to disclose to parties in
this proceeding the calculations performed for these final results
within five days of the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Assessment Rates
Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in
this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these final
results 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).
Where Dingsheng and Zhongji reported reliable entered values, we
calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by
aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each
importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered
value of the sales to each importer (or customer).\15\ Where Commerce
calculated a weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the total
amount of dumping for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales
quantity associated with those transactions, Commerce will direct CBP
to assess importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates based on
the resulting per-unit rates.\16\ Where an importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is greater than de minimis (i.e.,
0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate
duties at the time of liquidation.\17\ Where an importer- (or customer-
) specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.\18\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for
[[Page 20407]]
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise exported by the
companies listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in these final results of review for each
exporter as listed above; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that received a
separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for
all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that
for the China-wide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 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 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 reminder to parties subject to an APO
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in
this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the
return or 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
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: April 13, 2026.
