**Background**
On February 18, 2015, Commerce published the *Orders* in the *Federal Register* . [^1] On August 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice of initiation of these second sunset reviews of the *Orders,* pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tarriff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). [^2]
[^1]*See Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order; and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Countervailing Duty Order,* 80 FR 8592 (February 18, 2015) ( *China Order* ) and *Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from Taiwan: Antidumping Duty Order,* 80 FR 8596 (February 18, 2015) ( *Taiwan Order* ) (collectively, *Orders* ).
[^2]*See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews,* 90 FR 36139 (August 1, 2025).
On August 15, 2025, Commerce received timely and complete notices of intent to participate in the sunset reviews from the domestic interested party [^3] within the deadline specified in the 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). [^4] The domestic interested party claimed the interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(E) [^5] of the Act as a coalition of U.S. producers of the domestic like product, the majority of whom produce the domestic like product. [^6] On August 22, 2025, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it had received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested party. [^7]
[^3] The domestic interested party is the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing, whose individual members are First Solar, Inc., Hanwha Q CELLS USA, Inc., Heliene USA Inc., Suniva, Inc., and Mission Solar Energy LLC.

[^8] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party. On September 23, 2025, Commerce notified the ITC that it did not receive substantive response from any respondent interested parties. [^9] 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 an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the *Orders.*

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. [^10] 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. [^11] Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now February 5, 2026.

**Analysis of Comments Received**
A complete discussion of all issues raised in this sunset review, 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 Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), and 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 165.04 percent for China and 27.55 percent for Taiwan.
