SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 19, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results
and invited comments from interested parties.\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\ On March 18, 2026, we extended the final results of this
review by 14 days, until April 9, 2026.\4\ Finally, on April 9, 2026,
Commerce extended the deadline for this proceeding by an additional 14
days, until April 23, 2026.\5\

description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision

Final Successor-in-Interest Determination
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Resonac
Corporation (Resonac) is the successor-in-interest to Showa Denko K.K.
(Showa Denko).\8\ As no party commented on this issue and because we
have not received any information to contradict our preliminary
finding, we continue to find that Resonac is the successor-in-interest
to Showa Denko.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The list of the issues raised by parties is attached in an
appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available
to registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made no changes to the margin calculations for
Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd./Nagase & Co., Ltd. (YGK/Nagase), and to the
margin assigned to Resonac.
Final Results of the Administrative Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd./Nagase & Co., Ltd.\9\............ 9.84
Resonac Corporation......................................... 86.22
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Based on the record information, Commerce preliminarily
determined that Nagase and YGK are affiliated within the meaning of
section 771(33)(E) of the Act, and should be treated as a single
entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f). See Preliminary Results. No
party commented on our preliminary determination with respect to
this issue, and we have received no new information regarding this
issue. Therefore, we continue to determine that Nagase and YGK are
affiliated within the meaning of section 771(33)(E) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a
public announcement 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). However,
because we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are
no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) 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 covered by the final results of this
review.\10\ For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent), we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final
results of this administrative review, if any importer-specific
assessment rates calculated in the final results are above de minimis,
Commerce will issue instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping
duties on appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment
rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceeding; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period
were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rates by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all
U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing this amount by the
total entered value of the sales to that importer (or customer). Where
an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is greater than de
minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable entered values, we
will apply the assessment rate to the entered value of the importer's/
customer's entries during the POR.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly 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,
[[Page 23061]]
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 upon
publication of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for respondents noted above will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in this administrative 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; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 53.66 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation.\11\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping 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 duties did occur and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping 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(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 sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
