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 (preserved mushrooms) from the Netherlands.^[1] On July 9, 2025, Commerce selected Okechamp as the sole mandatory respondent.^[2]

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.^[3] Additionally, ( printed page 50764) 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.^[4] On March 24, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for these preliminary results until no later than July 31, 2026.^[5]

For events that occurred since the Initiation Notice, see the Preliminary Determination Memorandum.^[6] The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at access.trade.gov/​frnotices.

Scope of the Order

The product covered by the Order is preserved mushrooms from the Netherlands. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Intent To Rescind Administrative Review

As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum and as further explained in the Bona Fides Sales Memorandum, Commerce preliminarily finds that Okechamp did not make a bona fide sale of preserved mushrooms during the POR.^[7] Commerce reached this conclusion based on the totality of the record information surrounding Okechamp's reported sale, including, but not limited to, the sales quantity, the sales price, and atypical circumstances surrounding the sale.

Because we preliminarily find that Okechamp did not make a bona fide sale during the POR, we find that Okechamp had no reviewable transactions during the POR. Since Okechamp is the sole company subject to this administrative review, we preliminarily intend to rescind this administrative review.^[8] The factual information used in our bona fide sales analysis of Okechamp involves business proprietary information. See the Bona Fide Sales Memorandum for a full discussion of the basis of our preliminary findings.

Methodology

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as an Appendix to this notice.

Disclosure

Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with preliminary results within five days after public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce has found that the only company subject to this review, Okechamp, did not make a bona fide sale during the POR, there are no calculations to disclose.

Public Comment

Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days after the date of the publication of this notice.^[9] 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.^[10] 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.^[11] 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.^[12] 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).^[13]

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.^[14]

Assessment Rates

Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instruction to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register . For Okechamp, for which we are preliminarily rescinding the review, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue these rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review in the Federal Register . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International ( printed page 50765) 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

If Commerce proceeds to a final rescission of this administrative review, Okechamp's cash deposit rate will continue to be $0.44/kg net drained weight, the rate calculated in the previous administrative review.^[15] If Commerce issues final results for this administrative review, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits, effective upon the publication of the final results, at the rate established therein. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

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 doubled antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

We are issuing and publishing the preliminary results of this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
