SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 6, 2004, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
AD order on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol from China.\1\ On October 1,
2026, the ITC instituted,\2\ and on October 3, 2026, Commerce
initiated,\3\ the fourth sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a
result of its review, Commerce determined that revocation of the Order
would likely
[[Page 24170]]
lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to
prevail should the Order be revoked.\4\

Scope of the Order
The product covered by this Order is tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol
(THFA) from China, or C5H10O2. THFA, a primary alcohol, is a clear,
water white to pale yellow liquid. THFA is a member of the heterocyclic
compounds known as furans and is miscible with water and soluble in
many common organic solvents. THFA is currently classifiable in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTSUS) under
subheading 2932.13.00.00. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and for customs purposes, Commerce's written
description of the merchandise subject to the Order is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States,
pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Order. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time
of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the Order will be April
30, 2026.\6\ Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year reviews
of the Order not later than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary of the
date of the last determination by the ITC.
