(Preamble).

Commerce will update these annual

inquiry service lists on an annual basis

when the Opportunity Notice for the

anniversary month of the order or

suspended investigation is published in

the Federal Register.

14

Accordingly,

Commerce will update the annual

inquiry service lists for the above-listed

AD and CVD proceedings. All interested

parties wishing to appear on the

updated annual inquiry service list must

take one of the two following actions:

(1) new interested parties who did not

previously submit an entry of

appearance must submit a new entry of

appearance at this time; (2) interested

parties who were included in the

preceding annual inquiry service list

must submit an amended entry of

appearance to be included in the next

year’s annual inquiry service list. For

these interested parties, Commerce will

change the entry of appearance status

from ‘‘Active’’ to ‘‘Needs Amendment’’

for the annual inquiry service lists

corresponding to the above-listed

proceedings. This will allow those

interested parties to make any necessary

amendments and resubmit their entries

of appearance. If no amendments need

to be made, the interested party should

indicate in the area on the ACCESS form

requesting an explanation for the

amendment that it is resubmitting its

entry of appearance for inclusion in the

annual inquiry service list for the

following year. As mentioned in the

Final Rule,

15

once the petitioners and

foreign governments have submitted an

entry of appearance for the first time,

they will automatically be added to the

updated annual inquiry service list each

year.

Interested parties have 30 days after

the date of this notice to submit new or

amended entries of appearance.

Commerce will then finalize the annual

inquiry service lists five business days

thereafter. For ease of administration,

please note that Commerce requests that

law firms with more than one attorney

representing interested parties in a

proceeding designate a lead attorney to

be included on the annual inquiry

service list.

Commerce may update an annual

inquiry service list at any time as

needed based on interested parties’

amendments to their entries of

appearance to remove or otherwise

modify their list of members and

representatives, or to update contact

information. Any changes or

announcements pertaining to these

procedures will be posted to the

ACCESS website at https://

access.trade.gov.

Special Instructions for Petitioners and

Foreign Governments

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated

that, ‘‘after an initial request and

placement on the annual inquiry service

list, both petitioners and foreign

governments will automatically be

placed on the annual inquiry service list

in the years that follow.’’

16

Accordingly, as stated above and

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the

petitioners and foreign governments

will not need to resubmit their entries

of appearance each year to continue to

be included on the annual inquiry

service list. However, the petitioners

and foreign governments are responsible

for making amendments to their entries

of appearance during the annual update

to the annual inquiry service list in

accordance with the procedures

described above.

Notification to Interested Parties

With two respondents under examination,

Commerce normally calculates: (A) a weighted-

average of the estimated weighted-average dumping

margins calculated for the examined respondents;

(B) a simple average of the estimated weighted-

average dumping margins calculated for the

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average

of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins

calculated for the examined respondents using each

company’s publicly-ranged U.S. sales values for the

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,

Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results

of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final

Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and

Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53662

(September 1, 2010), and accompanying Issues and

Decision Memorandum at Comment1. As complete

publicly ranged sales data were available,

Commerce based the all-others rate on the publicly

ranged sales data of the mandatory respondents. For

a complete analysis of the data, see Memorandum,

‘‘Preliminary Calculation of All-Others Rate,’’ dated

concurrently with this notice (All-Others

Memorandum).

Certain interested

parties commented on the scope of the

investigation as it appeared in the

Initiation Notice. For a summary of the

product coverage comments and

rebuttal responses submitted to the

record for this preliminary

determination, and accompanying

discussion and analysis of all comments

timely received, see the Preliminary

Scope Decision Memorandum.

6

Commerce is preliminarily modifying

the scope as it appeared in the Initiation

Notice by adding an additional

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS) code. See the

scope in Appendix I to this notice. In

the Preliminary Scope Decision

Memorandum, Commerce established

the deadline for parties to submit scope

case and rebuttal briefs.

7

Commerce

intends to issue a final scope decision

with the final determinations of the

LTFV and CVD investigations of van-

type trailers from People’s Republic of

China (China).

Methodology

Commerce is conducting this

investigation in accordance with section

731 of the Act. Commerce has

calculated constructed export prices in

accordance with section 772(b) of the

Act. Normal value is calculated in

accordance with section 773 of the Act.

For a full description of the

methodology underlying the

preliminary determination, see the

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

All-Others Rate

Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A)

of the Act provide that in the

preliminary determination Commerce

shall determine an estimated all-others

rate for all exporters and producers not

individually examined. This rate shall

be an amount equal to the weighted

average of the estimated weighted-

average dumping margins established

for exporters and producers

individually investigated, excluding any

zero and de minimis margins, and any

margins determined entirely under

section 776 of the Act.

In this investigation, Commerce

calculated estimated weighted-average

dumping margins for Hyundai de

Mexico S.A. de C.V. (HYMEX) and

Utility Trailer Manufacturing de

Me

´xico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Utility

Mexico) that are not zero, de minimis,

or based entirely on facts otherwise

available. Commerce calculated the all-

others rate using a weighted average of

the estimated weighted-average

dumping margins calculated for the

examined respondents using each

company’s publicly-ranged values for

the merchandise under consideration.

8

Rate for Non-Responsive Companies

The following five exporters and/or

producers of van-type trailers from

Mexico did not respond to the quantity

and value (Q&V) questionnaire: (1)

Commercializadora Nimmka, S.A. de.

C.V. d/b/a Atro Remolques y Carrociera

(Commercializadora Nimmka); (2) BRD

Trailers S.A. de C.V. d/b/a DeLucio

(BRD Trailers); (3) Gallegos Trailers

(Gallegos); (4) Industrias Kuzzy De

Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Industrias Kuzzy);

and (5) Manufacturas Industriales Gami

S.A. de C.V. (Industriales Gami)

(collectively, non-responsive

companies). We find that, by not

responding to the Q&V questionnaire,

these companies withheld necessary

information that Commerce requested of

them, failed to provide information

within the deadlines established and

significantly impeded this proceeding.

Thus, in reaching our preliminary

determination, pursuant to sections

776(a)(1) and (2)(A)–(C) of the Act, we

are basing the dumping rate for the non-

responsive companies on facts available.

In addition, we preliminary determine

that an adverse inference is warranted,

pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. By

failing to submit responses to

Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, the

non-responsive companies did not

cooperate to the best of their ability in

this investigation. Accordingly, we

preliminarily find that an adverse

inference is warranted to ensure that the

non-responsive companies will not

obtain a more favorable result than had

they fully complied with our request for

information. For more information on

the application of adverse facts available

(AFA), see ‘‘Application of Facts

Available, Use of Adverse Inferences,

and Corroboration’’ in the Preliminary

Decision Memorandum.

Suspension of Liquidation

In accordance with section 733(d)(2)

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to

suspend liquidation of entries of subject

merchandise, as described in Appendix

I, entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the date of publication of this notice in

the Federal Register. Further, pursuant

to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19

CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to

the estimated weighted-average

dumping margin or the estimated all-

others rate, as follows: (1) The cash

deposit rate for the respondents listed

above will be equal to the company-

specific estimated weighted-average

dumping margins determined in this

preliminary determination; (2) if the

exporter is not a respondent identified

above, but the producer is, then the cash

deposit rate will be equal to the

company-specific estimated weighted-

average dumping margin established for

that producer of the subject

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit

rate for all other producers and

exporters will be equal to the all-others

estimated weighted-average dumping

margin.

Commerce normally adjusts cash

deposits for estimated antidumping

duties by the amount of export subsidies

countervailed in a companion

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding,

when CVD provisional measures are in

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce

preliminarily made an affirmative

determination for countervailable export

subsidies, Commerce has offset the

estimated weighted-average dumping

margin by the appropriate CVD rate.

Any such adjusted cash deposit rate

may be found in the ‘‘Preliminary

Determination’’ section above. Should

provisional measures in the companion

CVD investigation expire prior to the

expiration of provisional measures in

this LTFV investigation, Commerce will

direct CBP to begin collecting estimated

antidumping duty cash deposits

unadjusted for countervailed export

subsidies at the time that the

provisional CVD measures expire.

These suspension of liquidation

instructions will remain in effect until

further notice.

Disclosure

Commerce intends to disclose its

calculations and analysis performed to

interested parties in this preliminary

determination within five days of any

public announcement or, if there is no

public announcement, within five days

of the date of publication of this notice

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e),

Commerce will analyze and, if

appropriate, correct any timely

allegations of significant ministerial

errors by amending the preliminary

determination. However, consistent

with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will

not consider incomplete allegations that

do not address the significance standard

under 19 CFR 351.224(g) following the

preliminary determination. Instead,

Commerce will address such allegations

in the final determination together with

issues raised in the case briefs or other

written comments.

Verification

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the

Act, Commerce intends to verify the

information relied upon in making its

final determination.

Public Comment

Non-scope case briefs or other written

comments may be submitted to the

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and

Compliance no later than seven days

after the date on which the last

verification report is issued in this

investigation. 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.

12

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.

13

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.

14

Further, we request that

interested parties limit their executive

summary of each issue to no more than

450 words, not including citations. We

intend to use the executive summaries

as the basis of the comment summaries

included in the issues and decision

memorandum that will accompany the

final determination in this investigation.

We request that interested parties

include footnotes for relevant citations

in the 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).

15

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),

interested parties who wish to request a

hearing, limited to issues raised in the

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a

written request to the Assistant

Secretary for Enforcement and

Compliance, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 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 the issues to be discussed. If a

request for a hearing is made, Commerce

intends to hold the hearing at a time and

date to be determined. Parties should

confirm by telephone the date, time, and

location of the hearing two days before

the scheduled date.

Postponement of Final Determination

and Extension of Provisional Measures

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides

that a final determination may be

postponed until not later than 135 days

after the date of the publication of the

preliminary determination if, in the

event of an affirmative preliminary

determination, a request for such

postponement is made by exporters who

account for a significant proportion of

exports of the subject merchandise, or in

the event of a negative preliminary

determination, a request for such

postponement is made by the petitioner.

Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s

regulations requires that a request by

exporters for postponement of the final

determination be accompanied by a

request for extension of provisional

measures from a four-month period to a

period not more than six months in

duration.

On July 23, 2026, pursuant to 19 CFR

351.210(e), HYMEX requested that

Commerce postpone the final

determination and that provisional

measures be extended to a period not to

exceed six months.

16

In accordance with

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19

CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the

preliminary determination is

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter

accounts for a significant proportion of

exports of the subject merchandise; and

(3) no compelling reasons for denial

exist, Commerce is postponing the final

determination and extending the

provisional measures from a four-month

period to a period not greater than six

months. Accordingly, Commerce will

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

The merchandise covered by this

investigation consists of certain van-type

trailers and subassemblies thereof, whether

finished or unfinished, whether assembled or

unassembled, regardless of the number of

axles, for carriage of goods. Van-type trailers

are typically, but not limited to, rectangular

cuboid trailers with a fully enclosed cargo

space consisting of a front nose (with or

without a refrigeration unit), side walls (with

or without doors), movable rear panels

(whether roll-up doors, swing doors, or

another configuration), a floor and subframe,

an affixed or removable roof, a suspension

and axle system, wheels and tires, brakes, a

lighting and electrical system, landing gear,

and coupling for towing behind a truck

tractor or a connection system for training

behind another van-type trailer. Covered van-

type trailers are those with a gross vehicle

weight rating of greater than 26,000 pounds.

Subject merchandise includes, but is not

limited to, the following subassemblies:

•Van-type trailer subframes, or sections of

van-type trailer frames, typically consisting

of welded crossmembers and slider rails

for attaching the running gear;

•Nose wall, side wall, and roof

subassemblies, whether insulated or non

insulated, and with or without top, bottom,

or side rails;

•Rear door frame, whether for swing or roll-

up doors, with or without installed doors,

bumpers, bumper plates, or reinforcing

plates for liftgate;

•Door assemblies, whether for rear swing

doors, roll-up doors, side doors or any

other configuration, with or without

lockrods, handles, hinges, or hinge pins;

•Rear impact guard subassemblies, typically

consisting of a fabricated horizontal

structural component (such as a guard

tube) and uprights for connection to the

underside of the rear frame;

•Coupler assembly for connection to truck

tractor’s fifth wheel, typically consisting of

main beams and cross members, support

plates, and front nose wrap, and with or

without kingpin installed;

•Running gear subassemblies or axle

assemblies for connection to the subframe,

which may or may not include

suspension(s), wheel end components,

slack adjusters, dressed axles, brake

chambers, locking pins, wheels, and tires;

and

•Landing gear subassemblies, typically

consisting of two landing legs, a cross

channel, braces, bracketing, a cross shaft,

and a crank handle.

These subassemblies are subject to the

investigation, whether entered alone or with

other subassemblies and whether assembled

or unassembled and whether finished or

unfinished. The absence of any subassembly

from an otherwise finished or unfinished

van-type trailer does not remove the van-type

trailer from coverage.

Subject merchandise also includes

components entered with (i.e., on the same

bill of lading as) van-type trailers and

subassemblies, such as, but not limited to:

hub and drum assemblies, brake assemblies

(either drum or disc), bare axles, brake

chambers, suspensions and suspension

components, wheel end components, landing

gear legs, wheels, tires, brake control

systems, electrical harnesses and lighting

systems, lift gate systems, tire inflation

systems, or refrigeration units (with or

without evaporators or fuel tanks) whether

assembled or unassembled, whether as part

of a kit or not, and whether or not

accompanied by additional components that

constitute as part of an unfinished and/or

unassembled van-type trailer and

subassemblies thereof that are subject to the

investigation.

Processing of finished and unfinished van-

type trailers and subassemblies, such as

trimming, cutting, grinding, notching,

punching, drilling, painting, coating,

staining, finishing, assembly, or any other

processing either in the country of

manufacture of the in-scope product or in a

third country does not remove the product

from the scope. Inclusion of other

components not identified as comprising the

finished or unfinished van-type trailer does

not remove the product from the scope.

Specifically excluded are subassemblies

covered by the scope of the antidumping and

countervailing duty orders on certain chassis

and subassemblies thereof from the People’s

Republic of China. See Certain Chassis and

Subassemblies Thereof from the People’s

Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order,

86 FR 36093 (July 8, 2021) and Certain

Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof From the

People’s Republic of China: Countervailing

Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative

Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR

24844 (May 10, 2021).

The finished and unfinished van-type

trailers subject to the investigation are

typically classified in the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at

subheadings: 8716.39.0040, 8716.39.0090

and 8716.90.5060. Imports of finished and
