SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 25, 2025, based on timely requests for review, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms
(mushrooms) from Poland.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 90 FR 26967 (June 25, 2025); see also
Certain Preserved Mushrooms from Poland: Antidumping Duty Order, 88
FR 33096 (May 23, 2023) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 51153]]
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 17, 2026, we extended the preliminary
results of this review to no later than July 31, 2026.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Extension of Deadline for Preliminary
Results of 2024-2025 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' dated

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a complete description of the events that followed the
initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\5\
A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum
is attached as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision

Results of the Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Certain Preserved Mushrooms; 2024-2025,'' dated concurrently
with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order is mushrooms from Poland. For
a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price is
calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. NV is calculated
in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the
following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1,
2024, through April 30, 2025:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okechamp S.A............................................... 0.54
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations to interested parties
for these 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 this notice in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Verification
As provided in section 782(i)(3) of the Act, Commerce intends to
verify the information relied upon in making its final results because
we find good cause for verification exists.
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than seven
days after the date on which the verification report is issued in this
review. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs,
may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case
briefs.\6\ Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs
in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each
issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\7\ All briefs must be filed
electronically using ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be
received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on the established deadline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Procedures).
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(iii) 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.\8\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their
public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use the public 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 public 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).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\9\ See APO and Service Procedures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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
whether any participant is a foreign national; and (3) a list of issues
to be discussed. Oral presentations at the hearing will be limited to
issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made,
Commerce will inform parties of the scheduled date for the hearing.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
If Okechamp's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this
review, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered
value of those sales. Where we do not have entered values for all U.S.
sales to a particular importer, we will calculate an importer-specific,
per-unit assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
quantity of those sales.\11\ To determine whether an importer-specific,
per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an importer-specific ad valorem
ratio based on estimated entered values. If Okechamp's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis or where an importer-specific
[[Page 51154]]
ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Okechamp
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at
the all-others rate calculated in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\13\ 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).

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective 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 company
listed above will be that established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the
cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed companies not covered by this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate published
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the
company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent
segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
be 34.32 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\14\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 31, 2026.
