SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 27, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on aluminum sheet from Taiwan.\1\ On April 1,
2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order.\2\ On May

Commerce initiated an antidumping duty administrative review of the
Order with respect to CSAC.\4\

Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days,\5\ 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.\6\ On February 18, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for these
preliminary results by 60 days.\7\ Accordingly the deadline for these
preliminary results is now May 8, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Based on record information, we preliminarily determine that CSAC
did not have knowledge that the subject merchandise was destined for
the United States, and, thus, CSAC is not considered the exporter of
subject merchandise during the POR for the purposes of this review.\9\
Therefore, we preliminarily determine that CSAC made no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with Commerce's
practice, we find that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with
respect to CSAC, but rather to complete the review and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this
review.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 3-5.
\10\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the 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 the preliminary results in the Federal Register, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce is preliminarily finding
that CSAC made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR,
there are no calculations to disclose.
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested parties

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(ii) and (d)(2)(iii), we
request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their
briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their
briefs.\13\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their
executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the
basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision
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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be received successfully
in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain:
(1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case
briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold
the hearing at a date and time to be determined.\15\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
If the determination of no shipments is maintained at the final
results, we will instruct CBP to liquidate suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by CSAC at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the company involved in the transaction.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise
covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 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.
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
351.213(d)(2), 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
