**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On July 11, 2025, Commerce published the *Preliminary Results* and invited interested parties to submit comments. [^1] On July 21, 2025, Commerce issued a post-preliminary analysis in this administrative review. [^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, 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 December 29, 2025, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results of this administrative review by 35 days. [^5] Accordingly, the deadline for the final results is now February 19, 2026.

**Scope of the Order
7**
[^7]*See Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from India and the Russian Federation: Antidumping Duty Orders,* 87 FR 14514 (March 15, 2022) ( *Order* ).
The merchandise covered by the *Order* is PTFE resin. For a complete description of the scope of the *Order, see* the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
**Analysis of Comments Received**
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in the appendix to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
**Changes Since the Preliminary Results**
Based on our evaluation of the comments received from interested parties regarding our *Preliminary Results* and Post-Preliminary Analysis, and our review of the record to address those comments, we made certain changes to the weighted-average dumping margin calculation for Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFCL), as detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. [^8]
[^8]*See* Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3 and 4.
**Final Results of Review**
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin for GFCL exists for the period March 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024:
| Exporter/producer | Weighted- |
| --- | --- |
| Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited | 1.83 |
**Disclosure**
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final results of review to interested parties within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the *Federal Register* , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
**Assessment Rates**
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1)Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because GFCL reported the entered value for their U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific *ad valorem* duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or *de minimis,* we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by GFCL for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary ( *e.g.,* a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
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* . 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).
**Cash Deposit Requirements**
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for GFCL will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 10.36 percent *ad valorem,* the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. [^9] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
[^9]*See Order.*
**Notification to Importers**
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.
**Administrative Protective Order**
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 19, 2026.
