SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 26, 2011, Commerce published in the
Federal Register
the countervailing duty (CVD) order on aluminum extrusions from China.[1]
On May 5, 2025, Commerce published the notice of the opportunity to request a review of the
Order.[2]
On June 25, 2025, based on timely requests for review, Commerce published the notice of initiation of this administrative review.[3]
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceeding by 47 days,[4]
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.[5]
For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review,
see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.[6]
A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is provided as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
( printed page 20107)
via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at
https://access.trade.gov.
In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at
https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
Order
are aluminum extrusions from China. For a complete description of the scope of the
Order, see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties that requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On September 23, 2025, the petitioner [7]
submitted a timely letter withdrawing its requests for review of 79 companies.[8]
Because the withdrawal of review requests was timely filed, and no other parties requested a review of these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review of the
Order
with respect to these 79 companies. For a list of these companies for which all requests for review were timely withdrawn,
see
Appendix II.
Additionally, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind an administrative review when there are no reviewable suspended entries. Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) information, we preliminarily determine that 12 companies subject to outstanding requests for review had no entries of subject merchandise during the POR. On December 10, 2025, we notified parties that we intended to rescind this administrative review with respect to the 12 companies which have no reviewable suspended entries.[9]
No parties commented on the notification of intent to rescind the review, in part. We are, therefore, rescinding the administrative review of these companies which have no reviewable suspended entries. For further information,
see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum the at “Partial Rescission of Administrative Review” section. For a list of these companies with no reviewable suspended entries,
see
Appendix III.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we preliminarily find that there is a subsidy,
i.e.,
a financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.[10]
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), Commerce determined a countervailable subsidy rate for the following six exporters and/or producers of aluminum extrusions from China that refused delivery of and/or did not respond to the quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaire: (1) Anji Chang Hong Chain Manufacturing, (2) Assa Abloy (Zhongshan) Security Technology, (3) Dezhou Huoamei Windows and Doors, (4) Ewellix Motion Technologies, (5) Ningbo Lianda Winch, and (6) Shanghai Zesheng Automotive Technology. We determined the countervailable subsidy rate for these non-responsive companies based entirely on facts available with adverse inferences, in accordance with sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, including our reliance, on facts otherwise available with adverse inferences pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act,
see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in 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 preliminary results in the
Federal Register
, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce relied entirely on facts available with adverse inferences to select subsidy rates, there are no company-specific calculations to disclose.
Public Comment
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), we have modified the deadline for interested parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days after the date of publication of this notice. 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.[11]
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.[12]
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.
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.[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]
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

Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. We intend to issue these instructions to CBP 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).
For the companies listed in Appendix II and III for which the review is being rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register
.
For the companies remaining under review, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at the subsidy rates calculated in the final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the
Federal Register
.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amount indicated above with regard to shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit instructions, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is extended, we intend to issue the final results of this administrative review, which will include the results of our analysis of the issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results in the
Federal Register
, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
