administrative review of its exports of subject merchandise during the POR.2 On March 6,
2026, Bombay Dyeing notified Commerce that it will not participate in this administrative
review.3
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November
14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.4
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.5 On June 4, 2026,
Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the preliminary results of this review to
September 30, 2026.6 On September 29, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing
the preliminary results of this review by seven days, until October 7, 2026.7
For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.8 A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via ACCESS, which is

and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).

The merchandise subject to the Order is fine denier PSF from India. For a complete
description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in
whole or in part, if all parties who requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days
of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review in the Federal
Register. As noted above, Commerce received a timely-filed withdrawal request from RIL and
no other parties requested an administrative review of RIL. Therefore, Commerce is
rescinding this administrative review with respect to RIL, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce
has preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available with adverse inferences (AFA) to
determine a dumping margin for Bombay Dyeing. For a full description of the methodology
underlying the preliminary results of review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025:
Producer/Exporter
Weighted-Average Dumping
Margin (percent)
The Bombay Dyeing and Manufacturing Company Limited
21.43*
* This rate is based on facts available with adverse inferences.
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to parties to the proceeding the calculations performed
in the preliminary results of review within five days of any public announcement of the
preliminary results 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 preliminarily applied total AFA to the
individually examined company, in accordance with section 776 of the Act, there are no
calculations to disclose.
Verification
On February 4, 2026, Auriga Polymers, Inc. and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation,
America, domestic interested parties, requested that Commerce conduct a verification of the
information submitted by Bombay Dyeing in this review. However, because Bombay Dyeing
did not provide any of the information requested by Commerce and Commerce preliminarily
determines that Bombay Dyeing has been uncooperative, it will not conduct a verification in
this review.

Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the

raised in their briefs.12 Further, we request that interested parties limit their public executive

determine, 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.

assess antidumping duties on all entries of subject merchandise during the POR from RIL at
rates equal to the cash deposit rate for estimated antidumping duties required at the time of

entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, 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 this notice in the Federal Register.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP regarding Bombay Dyeing
in which it instructs CBP to assess antidumping duties on all entries of subject merchandise
during the POR from Bombay Dyeing at rates equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
determined for Bombay Dyeing in the final results of this review.
If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, Commerce will
direct CBP in its assessment instructions 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 Bombay Dyeing will be the cash deposit
rate established for Bombay Dyeing in the final results of this review (if that rate continues to
be based on total AFA, the rate will be offset by the lowest export subsidy rate determined for
any company in the companion countervailing duty proceeding, as part of the application of
AFA to Bombay Dyeing);15 (2) for companies previously investigated or reviewed in this
proceeding that are not covered by this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
15 See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of and Final
Rescission of Review, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024, 91 FR 8429 (February 23,
2026), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 7 (“Accordingly, we have adjusted
Thong Thuan/TTCR’s {(a company assigned a total AFA dumping margin)} cash deposit rate by the lowest
export subsidy rate determined for any party in the CVD Final. As discussed above, this is appropriate because
the U.S. price for the dumping margin alleged in the petition, i.e., 25.76 percent, is based on import average unit
values where the company associated with those values is not known”). Similarly, here, as AFA, we based
Bombay Dyeing’s dumping margin on the dumping margin alleged in the petition ,which is based on the average
unit values of U.S. imports of subject merchandise.) See Auriga Polymers, Inc. and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation,
America’s Letter, “Petitioners’ Submission of Factual Information and Comments in Advance of the Preliminary
Results,” dated August 20, 2026, at Attachment 2 on page 7 of the Initiation checklist.

company-specific cash deposit rate determined for the company in the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding that covered the company; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, or in a prior segment of this proceeding, but the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the manufacturer in the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding that covered the manufacturer; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 14.67 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less than fair value investigation adjusted for export subsidies.16 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)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping
and/or countervailing 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 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: October 7, 2026.
