Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by
interested parties in this review are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. A list of topics in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is attached as Appendix I to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and our evaluation of the
comments received from interested parties, we made certain changes to
the weighted-average dumping margin calculations and denied a scrap
offset for Region International Co., Ltd. and Region
[[Page 27249]]
System Sdn. Bhd. (collectively, Region) for these final results of
review.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Individually Examined Companies
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for
individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market
economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for individual examination in an
administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-
others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero
and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .''
In this review, we preliminarily calculated a weighted-average
dumping margin for Region that was not zero, de minimis, or determined
entirely on the basis of facts available.\6\ For the final results, we
continue to calculate a weighted-average dumping margin for Region that
is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts
available. Accordingly, consistent with our practice, for the final
results of this review, we continue to assign to the non-selected
mandatory respondents the dumping margin calculated for Region, i.e.,
1.98 percent.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR 61061.
\7\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Administrative Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ The exporters or producers not selected for individual
review are listed in Appendix II.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Madura Fasteners Sdn. Bhd................................... * 39.35
Region International Co., Ltd./Region System Sdn. Bhd....... 1.98
Review-Specific Rate for Non-Selected Companies \8\......... 1.98
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This rate is based on facts available with adverse inferences.
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis
performed for Region for these final results within five days of any
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce relied entirely on the basis
of facts available to determine the rate for Madura, in accordance with
section 776 of the Act, there are no calculations to disclose with
regard to this company.
Assessment Rates
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.\9\ For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 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 Proceedings: 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.
For the companies listed in Appendix II which were not selected for
individual review, we will assign an assessment rate based on the
review-specific rate, calculated as noted in the ``Rate for Non-
Individually Examined Companies'' section, above. The final results of
this 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.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to
CBP regarding the respondents and the companies listed in Appendix II
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of this notice for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate
for the companies noted above will be that established in the final
results of this 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 2.66 percent, the all-others
rate established in the less-than-fair-value
[[Page 27250]]
investigation.\10\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
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 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.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final 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 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
subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 8, 2026.
