Commerce Department Issues Final Results in 2023–2024 Antidumping Review of Aluminum Sheet from Bahrain Estimated reading time: 5–10 minutes On February 17, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the final results of its administrative review concerning antidumping duties on common alloy aluminum sheet imported from the Kingdom of Bahrain. The review covered the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Commerce found that Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C. (GARMCO) sold aluminum sheet in the United States at less than normal value during the review period. As a result, Commerce assigned GARMCO a final weighted-average dumping margin of 15.74 percent. Commerce made certain changes to its preliminary findings after analyzing comments from stakeholders. These changes were explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. The memorandum is available to the public through Commerce’s online portal (https://access.trade.gov). Background The preliminary results of this review were released on August 6, 2025, and published in the Federal Register (90 FR 37840). This review was conducted in line with Section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930. Due to a lapse in government funding and a Federal Government shutdown, Commerce tolled deadlines in administrative proceedings twice—first by 47 days on November 14, 2025, and then by an additional 21 days on November 24, 2025. Scope of the Order The order covers aluminum sheet products from Bahrain. A detailed description is included in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Results Commerce’s final results establish a 15.74 percent dumping margin for GARMCO for exports made between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024. Assessment of Duties Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on entries of aluminum sheet from Bahrain made during the review period. For any entries produced by GARMCO but not known by it to be destined for the United States, CBP will apply the “all-others” rate of 4.83 percent if no specific rate applies to the intermediate parties involved. These instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after the notice is published. If litigation is filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will delay liquidation of subject entries until the period for filing for a statutory injunction expires—90 days after publication. Cash Deposit Requirements Effective the date of publication of the final results: The cash deposit rate for GARMCO will be 15.74 percent. For companies not reviewed but previously assigned a company-specific rate, that rate remains in effect. If only the producer (but not the exporter) is previously rated, that producer’s most recent rate will apply. For all other producers and exporters, the cash deposit rate remains 4.83 percent. These deposit rates will remain in place until further notice. Importer Responsibilities Importers are reminded to file certificates regarding the reimbursement of duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) before liquidation. Failure to file may lead Commerce to assume reimbursement has occurred and impose double duties. Administrative Protective Orders Parties must comply with rules under administrative protective orders (APO), including timely destruction or return of proprietary information. Failure to comply is a violation and can result in sanctions. Authority This notice is issued under Sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: February 10, 2026.

Commerce Finds Chinese Active Anode Material Sold Below Fair Value Estimated reading time: 6–10 minutes The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced its final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of active anode material from the People’s Republic of China. The agency concluded that the product is being sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). The period of investigation (POI) spanned from April 1, 2024, through September 30, 2024. Commerce first released its preliminary findings on July 22, 2025. At that time, it also postponed the final determination to December 4, 2025. Due to the federal government shutdown and backlog in case filings, all administrative deadlines were later extended by a total of 68 days. As a result, Commerce published its final determination on February 10, 2026. Final dumping margins were assigned to various exporter-producer combinations. Each of them received a margin of 93.50 percent. The China-wide entity was assigned a final dumping margin of 102.72 percent, based on adverse facts available. Commerce also confirmed that certain Chinese exporters were ineligible for separate rates. This was due to changes in product scope and a lack of shipments during the POI. Scope of the Investigation The investigation covers active anode material. This product is an anode-grade graphite consisting of at least 90 percent carbon. It includes forms made from synthetic graphite, natural graphite, or blends. It may or may not have coatings. The material can appear in powder, dry, liquid, or block form. It has a maximum size of 80 microns in powder form. The product meets an energy density of at least 330 milliamp hours per gram and a graphitization degree of at least 80 percent. The scope includes products mixed with silicon-based materials or additives. These materials remain covered even when imported as part of an anode slurry, electrode, or subassembly. However, active anode materials already incorporated into imported lithium-ion batteries, battery modules, packs, and electric or hybrid vehicles are excluded. Commerce revised the scope since the preliminary stage. Certain products once included are no longer subject to this determination. Producers and Exporters Receiving Final Dumping Margin of 93.50 Percent: Tesla Manufacturing Brandenburg SE / BTR New Material Group Co., Ltd. Panasonic Global Procurement (China) Co., Ltd. / BTR New Material Group Co., Ltd. Panasonic Global Procurement (China) Co., Ltd. / BTR New Material Group Sales Co., Ltd. Panasonic Global Procurement (China) Co., Ltd. / BTR (Jiangsu) New Energy Material Panasonic Global Procurement (China) Co., Ltd. / Huzhou Kaijin New Energy Technology Corp., Ltd. Hunan Zhongke Shinzoom Co., Ltd. / Guizhou Zhongke Shinzoom Co., Ltd. Jiangxi Zichen Technology Co., Ltd. / Jiangxi Zichen Technology Co., Ltd. Resonac Corporation / Henan Yicheng New Energy Co., Ltd. Resonac Corporation / PetroChina Daqing Petrochemical Company Resonac Corporation / Qingdao Qingbei Carbon Products Co., Ltd. Shanghai Shanshan New Material Co., Ltd. / Inner Mongolia Shanshan Technology Co., Ltd. Shanghai Shanshan New Material Co., Ltd. / Sichuan Shanshan New Material Co., Ltd. Shanghai Shanshan New Material Co., Ltd. / Fujian Shanshan Technology Co., Ltd. Shanghai Shanshan New Material Co., Ltd. / Ningbo Shanshan New Material Technology Co., Ltd. Final Rate for the China-Wide Entity: 102.72 Percent Adverse facts available were applied to the China-wide entity as certain companies failed to cooperate or provide data. No new facts required a change from the preliminary determination in that regard. Cash Deposit Requirements Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to require cash deposits. These will match the dumping margins as adjusted for subsidy offsets where applicable. Cash deposit responsibilities depend on producer/exporter combinations. Suspension of Liquidation Commerce previously instructed CBP to suspend liquidation of entries entered on or after July 22, 2025. This was the Preliminary Determination date. CBP was instructed to stop this suspension for entries on or after January 18, 2026. For entries made during the suspension period, CBP must follow the rates listed in the final determination, unless the product falls outside the final scope. Next Steps If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order. Final suspension of liquidation will be reinstated. If the ITC rules that there is no injury, no order will be issued. CBP will refund cash deposits and end the suspension. Interested parties must dispose of any proprietary data from the investigation according to the Administrative Protection Order (APO) provisions.

U.S. Trade Department Sets Final Duties on Battery Anode Imports from China Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes The United States Department of Commerce announced its final decision in a trade case involving active anode material from the People’s Republic of China. This decision was published in the Federal Register on February 17, 2026. The Commerce Department concluded that Chinese producers and exporters of active anode material received unfair subsidies from their government. This ruling is part of a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation. The investigation looked at product entries between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023. The Department began the investigation officially on January 25, 2025. A preliminary ruling was issued on May 28, 2025. An amended preliminary ruling followed on July 2, 2025, correcting some errors in the original subsidy rate estimates. The final ruling includes a list of Chinese companies and the countervailing duty rates assigned to each: Panasonic Global Procurement China Co., Ltd., and Panasonic Corporation of China: 66.86% BTR New Material Group Co., Ltd., and its affiliates: 66.82% Shanghai Shaosheng Knitted Sweat: 66.82% (rate based on adverse facts available) Huzhou Kaijin New Energy Technology Corp., Ltd.: 66.82% (rate based on adverse facts available) All Other Chinese producers and exporters: 66.86% The Department used verification procedures to examine records and documents provided during on-site reviews. The process followed required steps under U.S. trade law. Commerce made changes to the subsidy rate calculations from the preliminary review. Details of these changes are in the final Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is available online via the ACCESS system. The Commerce Department used facts available with adverse inferences for some companies, including Shanghai Shaosheng and Huzhou Kaijin. These companies did not respond properly to requests for information. All other producers will receive the same rate as Panasonic. This is because Panasonic was the only cooperating respondent without a zero or de minimis rate and not based only on adverse facts. The Department has instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue collecting cash deposits. Suspension of liquidation applies to entries made on or before September 25, 2025. If the International Trade Commission (ITC) also finds material injury to the U.S. industry, CBP will assess duties on all impacted imports after that date. The ITC must now decide if the subsidies caused harm to U.S. producers. If the ITC agrees, the Department of Commerce will issue a final countervailing duty order. If the ITC decides there is no injury, the investigation ends, and duties collected so far will be refunded. The scope of the investigation includes graphite-based anode materials with certain purity and size characteristics. These materials are used in lithium-ion batteries. Certain finished products like electric vehicles, phones, or entire battery systems are excluded. The final determination closes a major step in a trade enforcement process aimed at active anode material from China. All documents related to this case are available to registered users through the ACCESS system at https://access.trade.gov.

U.S. Commerce Department Issues Preliminary Results in Antidumping Review of Spanish Olives Estimated reading time: 5–7 minutes On February 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce published preliminary results from the 2023–2024 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on ripe olives from Spain. The review covers the period from August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024. The Department found that sales of ripe olives by the mandatory respondent, Agro Sevilla Aceitunas, S. Coop. And., were made at less than normal value. The agency calculated a preliminary weighted-average dumping margin of 3.54 percent for Agro Sevilla. The same rate of 3.54 percent was also assigned to one non-selected company, Angel Camacho Alimentacion, S.L. The review was initially requested for four companies. However, two were removed during the process. Commerce rescinded the review for Aceitunas Guadalquivir, S.L., because the request for review was withdrawn within the 90-day time limit. The agency also intends to rescind the review for Alimentary Group DCOOP, S.Coop.And., as the company did not have any entries of subject merchandise during the review period. The review follows the antidumping duty order first published on August 1, 2018. Commerce performed this review under the authority of Section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Export price and constructed export price were calculated following Section 772 of the Act, and normal value was determined under Section 773. Initial results were delayed due to multiple deadline tolling events, including a 90-day tolling on December 9, 2024; a 47-day tolling on November 14, 2025, due to a government shutdown; and an additional 21-day tolling on November 24, 2025, because of submission backlogs. The deadline for the preliminary results was extended to February 5, 2026. Commerce plans to verify certain information reported by Agro Sevilla. The verification was requested by the Musco Family Olive Company, a member of the Coalition for Fair Trade in Ripe Olives. Commerce will accept comments from interested parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs will be due five days after case briefs. All briefs must include a table of contents and a table of authorities. Executive summaries for each issue must be included and limited to 450 words. Requests for public hearings must be submitted within 30 days of this notice. Hearings will be limited to issues raised in briefs. Upon final determination, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess duties. If rates are de minimis, CBP will not assess duties. Otherwise, importer-specific rates will be calculated based on entered values. Commerce will issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of final results unless a summons is filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade. For companies removed from the review—Aceitunas Guadalquivir and Alimentary Group—CBP will assess duties based on the rate in effect at the time of entry. Cash deposit rates from the final results will apply to future entries. If a company is not covered in this or prior reviews, the “all-others” rate of 19.98 percent will apply. All filings must be submitted via Commerce’s AntiDumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). The final results of the review are due within 120 days of this notice, unless extended. Commerce reminds importers to file certificates on duty reimbursement per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). Failure to comply may trigger double duty assessments. Contacts and full documentation are available through the Federal Register and ACCESS at https://access.trade.gov. This notice was issued under sections 751(a)(1), 777(i), and 351.221(b)(4) of the Tariff Act of 1930.

U.S. Department of Commerce Releases Preliminary Results on Acetone Antidumping Review from Korea Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes On February 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce published its preliminary findings from the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on acetone from the Republic of Korea. The review covered the period from March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2025. Kumho P&B Chemicals, Inc. (KPB) was found to have sold acetone in the United States at less than normal value during the review period. Its preliminary weighted-average dumping margin was set at 1.43 percent. The Department has also decided to rescind the review in part. Specifically, it will not continue the review for LG Chem, Ltd. (LG Chem). This conclusion was made because there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise from LG Chem during the review period. The Department of Commerce stated that in the absence of any entries during the period of review for LG Chem, assessment of antidumping duties is not applicable. Therefore, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess duties on LG Chem’s prior entries at the cash deposit rates in effect at the time of entry. The administrative review followed a standard process outlined under the Tariff Act of 1930, sections 751(a)(2), 772, and 773. The Department calculated export prices and normal values based on sales and cost data submitted by KPB. Because of a government shutdown in 2025, deadlines were delayed. Deadlines were first tolled by 47 days on November 14, 2025, and then by another 21 days on November 24, 2025. As a result, the deadline for preliminary results was shifted to February 9, 2026. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b), Commerce will disclose the calculations used in these preliminary results within five days of publication. Interested parties who wish to comment can submit case briefs to Commerce no later than 21 days after this notice’s publication. Rebuttal briefs can be filed within five days following the close of case briefs. Case and rebuttal briefs must include: A statement of the issue A summary of the argument A table of authorities Parties must also provide a concise executive summary for each issue, limited to 450 words per summary. Oral hearings can be requested within 30 days of publication. Any hearing will cover only the issues raised in written briefs. Commerce will use the final results to instruct CBP on the liquidation of entries. For KPB, importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates will be calculated. If the importer-specific dumping margins are de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), the entries will be assessed at zero. If an importer-specific rate cannot be determined, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess duties using the “all-others” rate of 33.10 percent. These assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after the final results are published in the Federal Register. Following the final results, cash deposit rates will be updated as follows: The rate for each reviewed company will be established by the final results Companies not reviewed will continue with the most recent rate assigned If only the producer or the exporter has been reviewed before, that rate will apply All others will retain the 33.10 percent rate Commerce expects to issue its final results within 120 days unless extended. Importers are reminded of their responsibility to report any reimbursement of duties, as required under 19 CFR 351.402(f). This notice was signed on February 9, 2026, by Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations at the Department of Commerce.

U.S. Commerce Department Announces Preliminary Antidumping Review Results for Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued the preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review on Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 (CVP-23) from India. The review covers the period from December 1, 2023, through November 30, 2024. The review found that Western Chemical Industries P Limited did not sell CVP-23 in the U.S. at prices below normal value. Therefore, a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent was preliminarily assigned to Western Chemical Industries P Limited. The review was conducted under section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930. Commerce used section 772 of the Act to calculate export prices and section 773 to calculate normal values. Commerce will disclose its calculations to the interested parties within five days of publication. The public may view these through the ACCESS system at https://access.trade.gov. Commerce also announced the partial rescission of the review for Meghmani Pigments. The company withdrew its request for review on January 22, 2025. Since no other parties requested a review for Meghmani Pigments, the Department has rescinded the review for this company under regulation 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Case briefs or written comments on the preliminary results may be submitted within 21 days of the Federal Register publication date. Rebuttal briefs must be submitted within five days after the deadline for case briefs. All briefs must be filed through the ACCESS system. Interested parties submitting briefs should include a statement of the issue, a brief argument summary, a list of authorities, and a public summary of each issue limited to 450 words. Footnotes are required for citations in the public summary. Requests for a public hearing must be filed within 30 days of publication. Requests must include the participant’s name, address, phone number, the number of participants, nationality status, and a list of topics to discuss. Only topics raised in case briefs can be discussed. Once the review is complete, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess duties. If the final rate is zero or de minimis (less than 0.5%), entries will be liquidated without antidumping duties. Otherwise, importer-specific rates will be used. Entries of CVP-23 during the period that were produced by the respondent, but not known to be sold to the U.S., will be assessed at the “all-others” rate of 27.48 percent. This default rate came from the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation. Commerce plans to issue final results of this administrative review within 120 days of publication, unless this period is extended. Once final results are issued, cash deposit rates for future entries of CVP-23 from India will change. If the final rate is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will be required for Western Chemical Industries P Limited. Other deposit rates will depend on whether a rate for the company or its manufacturer has been previously established. This serves as a reminder to importers to submit a certificate of non-reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties before liquidation. Failure to do so may lead to double duties or higher assessments. The preliminary results were signed by Deputy Assistant Secretary Christopher Abbott on February 9, 2026.

U.S. Will Keep Duties on Calcium Hypochlorite from China Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes On February 10, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it will continue the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on calcium hypochlorite from the People’s Republic of China. This decision follows determinations by the Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). Both agencies found that ending the AD and CVD orders would likely cause dumping of the product and allow unfair subsidies to continue. That could hurt the U.S. industry making the same chemical. The Commerce Department and ITC looked at the orders as part of the required second five-year or “sunset” review process. Commerce began this review on June 2, 2025. The ITC agreed with the Department of Commerce’s findings. On February 10, 2026, the ITC ruled that ending the orders would probably lead to harm for U.S. companies. Calcium hypochlorite is a chemical used to disinfect water and other surfaces. It can be made in different forms like powder, tablets, crystals, or liquid. It must contain at least 10% available chlorine by weight to be covered by the orders. This chemical can have different formulas. This includes common bleaching powders and hemibasic forms. The main formula is Ca(OCl)₂. Other forms are Ca(OCl)₂·CaCl₂·Ca(OH)₂·2H₂O, 2Ca(OCl)₂·Ca(OH)₂, and Ca(OCl)₂·0.5Ca(OH)₂. The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number for calcium hypochlorite is 7778-54-3. Its EPA Pesticide Code Number is 014701. It is classified as dangerous under multiple International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) codes, including UN 1748, 2880, 2208, and also UN 3485, 3486, and 3487. The chemical is listed under HTSUS subheading 2828.10.0000 for customs purposes. When it’s mixed into tablets or other forms, it may also be entered under 3808.94.5000 and 3808.99.9500. These codes apply to disinfectants. But the written description, not the code, defines what is covered. Because of the Commerce and ITC decisions, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will keep collecting AD and CVD deposits on imports of this product from China. This action helps American companies compete fairly. The next five-year review of the orders may begin by early 2031. The law requires this review to start no later than 30 days before the fifth anniversary of the last decision. This notice is also a reminder to all parties who had access to business confidential information under an Administrative Protective Order (APO). They must either return or destroy the information or ask the court to convert it to a judicial protective order. Failing to do so is a violation. This decision and notice follow the Trade Act of 1930 and related regulations. The notice was signed by Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations at the Commerce Department, on February 10, 2026. It was published in the Federal Register on February 13, 2026, under document number 2026-02951.

U.S. Department of Commerce Rescinds Several Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes Date: 2026-02-13 On February 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) officially rescinded administrative reviews of antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders. This action follows timely withdrawal of all review requests during the proper deadlines. The International Trade Administration’s Enforcement and Compliance unit issued the notice. It confirms that no other requests for the listed reviews were submitted within the relevant 90-day timeframe. According to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a review can be canceled in full or part if all parties who requested it withdraw within 90 days from the notice of initiation. The following reviews have been rescinded: ANTIDUMPING PROCEEDINGS: Burma: Mattresses (A-546-001) – Period of Review (POR): December 2, 2023 – June 30, 2025 Canada: Utility Scale Wind Towers (A-122-867) – POR: August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025 India: Brass Rod (A-533-915); POR: December 1, 2023 – May 31, 2025 Raw Honey (A-533-903); POR: June 1, 2024 – May 31, 2025 Japan: Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products (A-588-873) – POR: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Mexico: Brass Rod (A-201-858) – POR: December 1, 2023 – May 31, 2025 Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Boltless Steel Shelving Units Prepacked for Sale (A-552-835); POR: November 29, 2023 – May 31, 2025 Certain Steel Nails (A-552-818); POR: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Oil Country Tubular Goods (A-552-817); POR: September 1, 2024 – August 31, 2025 Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube (A-552-831); POR: August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025 Taiwan: Boltless Steel Shelving Units Prepacked for Sale (A-583-871) – POR: June 1, 2024 – May 31, 2025 The People’s Republic of China: Certain Collated Steel Staples (A-570-112); POR: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 99cc and up to 225cc, and Parts Thereof (A-570-124); POR: May 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025 Ukraine: Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe (A-823-819) – POR: August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025 COUNTERVAILING DUTY PROCEEDINGS: Canada: Utility Scale Wind Towers (C-122-868) – POR: January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024 India: Certain Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders (C-533-913); POR: September 29, 2023 – December 31, 2024 Certain Paper Shopping Bags (C-533-918); POR: November 6, 2023 – December 31, 2024 The People’s Republic of China: Certain Collated Steel Staples (C-570-113); POR: January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024 For the listed reviews, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess duties at the deposit rate collected at the time the goods entered the U.S. market or were withdrawn from warehouse. For reviews involving Canada or Mexico, CBP will receive assessment instructions no earlier than 41 days after this notice. For other countries, CBP will be instructed no earlier than 35 days after publication. Commerce reminds importers of their duty under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate confirming whether antidumping and/or countervailing duties were reimbursed. Failing to do so may lead to a presumption of reimbursement and result in double duties.

U.S. Ends Review of Antidumping Duties on Paper from Brazil Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes The U.S. Department of Commerce has ended a review of antidumping duties on uncoated paper from Brazil. This was for the time period from March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2025. Commerce has decided to stop its review of Suzano S.A. and Sylvamo do Brasil Ltda. with Sylvamo Exports Ltda. Suzano asked for a review. The petitioner, Domtar Corporation, also asked for a review of Suzano. Both parties withdrew those requests on July 28, 2025. Since no one else asked for a review, Commerce is now rescinding it under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Sylvamo did not have any imports of the paper during this time. On June 12, 2025, Sylvamo told Commerce that no shipments matched their entries. Commerce agreed. Because of this, Sylvamo’s review was also ended under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Commerce announced its intent to stop the review of Sylvamo on January 9, 2026. No party objected. Sylvamo supported the decision. Government shutdowns delayed the timing. First, on November 14, 2025, deadlines were pushed back by 47 days. Then, on November 24, 2025, delays added 21 more days. New deadlines moved the preliminary results date to February 9, 2026. There will be no change in cash deposit rates. The current rates continue. Commerce will tell U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess duties at rates matched to the time goods entered the U.S. Instructions will come no earlier than 35 days after the notice is published in the Federal Register. This is also a reminder for parties under an Administrative Protective Order (APO) to return or destroy confidential materials as per 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). The notice follows sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as well as 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). This notice was signed by Scot Fullerton, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, on February 9, 2026. Federal Register publication date: February 12, 2026. Document number: 2026-02781. End of notice.

Court Rules Against Co May in Fish Fillet Trade Case; Commerce Rescinds Review Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes On January 8, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued a final judgment in the case Catfish Farmers of America, et al. v. United States, Court No. 24-00126. The court upheld the U.S. Department of Commerce’s new decision concerning the new shipper review of certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The period of review covered by this decision is August 1, 2022, through January 31, 2023. The product in question was exported to the United States by Co May Import-Export Company Limited (Co May). In the original final results, issued on June 25, 2024, Commerce had found that Co May’s single sale during the review period was a bona fide, or legitimate, sale. Commerce set a weighted-average dumping margin of $0.00 per kilogram for Co May. Initially, Commerce believed that Co May’s U.S. customer resold the fish fillets at a profit. It did not count the antidumping (AD) cash deposit as a cost in its profit calculation. Commerce also found no evidence on the record that the customer’s relationship with downstream buyers changed the profit analysis. However, the Catfish Farmers of America and other petitioners appealed that decision. On June 5, 2025, the CIT ordered Commerce to provide further explanation. The court asked Commerce to revisit its treatment of the AD cash deposit in the profit analysis. It also asked for more clarity regarding the relationship between Co May’s U.S. customer and the second-level buyers. In the remand redetermination issued on November 17, 2025, Commerce reconsidered its findings. It re-evaluated how it treated cash deposits and the reseller’s financial relationships. After further review, Commerce determined that Co May’s sale was not bona fide. Commerce stated that it would rescind the new shipper review if that finding was affirmed. On January 8, 2026, the CIT officially sustained Commerce’s remand redetermination. According to the court’s ruling, and as required by the Timken decision and 19 U.S.C. sections 516A(c) and (e), Commerce must now take action consistent with the final judgment that is not in harmony with its earlier ruling. As a result, Commerce has amended its final results. Commerce now finds that Co May’s sale was not a bona fide sale. Therefore, Commerce has rescinded the 2022–2023 new shipper review. Because of this decision, Co May is no longer eligible for separate rate treatment. Co May will now be treated as part of the Vietnam-wide entity. The Vietnam-wide cash deposit rate of $2.39 per kilogram now applies to Co May. Commerce will send updated cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Commerce is currently barred by court order from liquidating Co May’s entries made between August 1, 2022, and January 31, 2023. These entries remain suspended under that injunction during the appeals process. If there are no further appeals, or if the court’s ruling is upheld, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess duties on affected entries at the Vietnam-wide rate of $2.39 per kilogram. This notice was issued in compliance with the requirements of the Tariff Act of 1930 and related court rulings. Dated: 2026-02-06.

Commerce Releases Final Results for Review of Sodium Nitrite from India, Finds No Dumping Estimated reading time: 5–8 minutes On February 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce published the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on sodium nitrite from India. This review covers the period from August 17, 2022, through January 31, 2024. The review was conducted by the International Trade Administration under docket number A-533-906. The subject merchandise is sodium nitrite produced by Deepak Nitrite Limited (Deepak), a company based in India. Key Findings Commerce determined that Deepak did not sell sodium nitrite at less than normal value during the period of review. The final weighted-average dumping margin was 0.00 percent. As a result, Deepak will not face antidumping duties on entries of sodium nitrite into the United States for this period. Background Commerce released preliminary results on June 4, 2025. A post-preliminary analysis was issued on July 18, 2025. On September 24, 2025, Commerce extended the deadline for its final results to December 1, 2025. Due to a federal government shutdown, there were two tolling periods applied to administrative deadlines: a 47-day toll announced on November 14, 2025, and a 21-day toll announced on November 24, 2025. These tolling periods extended the final results deadline to February 9, 2026. Final Calculation Changes Commerce revised Deepak’s margin calculation since the preliminary phase, based on comments submitted by interested parties. Commerce has published a complete Issues and Decision Memorandum that outlines all changes and responses to comments. The memorandum is available on the ACCESS electronic system at https://access.trade.gov. Assessment of Duties Because the final margin is zero percent, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate relevant entries without collecting antidumping duties. For any entries where Deepak did not know the final destination was the United States, CBP will assess duties at the “all-others” rate of 42.76 percent unless a specific rate applies to an intermediate party. Assessment instructions will be issued to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the publication of the final results. If a summons is filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade within 90 days, CBP will be instructed to delay liquidation accordingly. Cash Deposit Requirements Effective as of the publication date in the Federal Register: Deepak’s cash deposit rate is set at 0.00 percent. Exporters not covered by this review but covered in prior segments will remain subject to previously published rates. If the producer is covered but the exporter is not, the deposit rate will be based on the producer’s most recent rate. All others continue to have a deposit rate of 42.76 percent. These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice. Importer Requirements Importers must submit certificates of reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). Failure to file such certificates may result in Commerce presuming reimbursement and applying double duties. APO Compliance Parties under an Administrative Protective Order (APO) must return or destroy all proprietary information in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). This requirement continues to apply and violations are subject to sanctions.

U.S. Commerce Department Finds Dumping of Mexican Steel Wire Rod Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes On February 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce released preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review for carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Mexico. The review covers the period from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. Preliminary Results The Department preliminarily found that steel wire rod from Mexico was sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. Specifically, Commerce calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 15.97 percent for Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Deacero Summit S.A.P.I. de C.V. These two companies were treated as a single entity for the purpose of this review. Review Background The original antidumping duty order was issued on October 29, 2002. The current review was officially initiated on November 14, 2024. Nine companies were included in the scope of the review: ArcelorMittal Mexico S.A. de C.V. (AMM) Comercializadora Eloro S.A. Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V./Deacero Summit S.A.P.I. de C.V. Grupo Villacero S.A. de C.V. Ingeteknos Estructurales S.A. Optimatiks S.A. de C.V. TA 2000 S.A. de C.V. (successor to Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V.) Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V. Delays in the Review The timeline for issuing these preliminary results was extended multiple times. On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled review deadlines by 90 days. On September 30, 2025, the timeline was extended by an additional 30 days. Two more delays followed in November 2025 due to a federal government shutdown. A 47-day tolling was imposed on November 14, followed by an additional 21 days on November 24. Finally, on December 29, 2025, another 30-day extension was granted. The deadline was moved to February 6, 2026. Partial Rescission Commerce is rescinding the review for seven of the nine companies. This decision is based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, which showed that AMM, Comercializadora Eloro, Villacero, Ingeteknos, Optimatiks, TA 2000 (Talleres y Aceros), and Ternium had no entries of subject merchandise during the review period. Only Deacero and Deacero Summit remain in the review. Methodology Commerce used standard procedures under the Tariff Act of 1930. Constructed export prices and normal values were calculated under sections 772(b) and 773 of the Act. The full explanation is available in a separate Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Comments and Case Briefs Commerce invites interested parties to submit comments. Case briefs are due within 21 days of this notice. Rebuttal briefs are due within five days after that. Each brief must include a table of contents and a table of authorities. Parties must also provide a public executive summary for each issue, limited to 450 words. If a hearing is requested, all parties must submit a formal request within 30 days of this notice, through the ACCESS electronic system. Assessment Rates Importers will be assessed antidumping duties following the final results. Each importer’s duty will be calculated using total U.S. entry values. If a company’s dumping margin is de minimis (too small to measure), entries will be instructed for liquidation without duties. The final results will also determine future deposit amounts. For the seven companies dropped from the review, duties will be assessed according to deposit rates in place at the time of entry. Final Results Final results are due within 120 days of this notice, unless extended. Commerce will use comments received to prepare the final decision. Reminders Commerce reminds importers of their duty to file certificates of reimbursement, as per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). Lack of certification may lead to double duties. Cash Deposits Once final results are published, new cash deposit rates will go into effect for future entries. For companies not reviewed or covered in prior segments, the “all others” rate of 20.11 percent will apply.
