Background

On February 1, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the Argentina Order, Colombia Order, Egypt Order, Netherlands Order, Saudi Arabia Order, Taiwan Order, Türkiye Order, and UAE Order.[1] On June 4, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the Indonesia Order, Italy Order, Malaysia Order, South Africa Order, Spain Order, Tunisia Order, and Ukraine Order.[2] On January 2, 2026, Commerce published the notice of initiation of this first sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act).[3]

On January 16, 2026, Commerce received a timely and complete notice of intent to participate in the sunset reviews for domestic interested parties within the deadline specified in the 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[4] The domestic ( printed page 23965) interested party claimed interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S. producers, manufacturers, or exporters of the domestic like product.[5] On January 22, 2026, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it had received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested parties.[6]

On February 2, 2026, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i), domestic interested parties filed a timely and adequate substantive response.[7] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party. On February 23, 2026, Commerce notified the ITC that it did not receive substantive response from any respondent interested parties.[8] As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders.

A complete discussion of all issues raised in these sunset reviews, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation of the Orders and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the Orders were to be revoked, is provided in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.[10] A list of the topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached in the Appendix to this notice.

Final Results of Sunset Reviews

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the Orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 60.40 percent for Argentina, 86.09 percent for Colombia, 29.72 percent for Egypt, 72.28 percent for Indonesia, 19.26 percent for Italy, 26.95 percent for Malaysia, 30.86 percent for the Netherlands, 194.40 percent for Saudi Arabia, 155.10 percent for South Africa, 14.75 percent for Spain, 23.89 percent for Taiwan, 30.58 percent for Tunisia, 53.65 percent for Türkiye, 19.30 percent for Ukraine, and 170.65 percent for the UAE.
