International Trade Administration

1. [A-469-822]

AGENCY:

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that the sole mandatory respondent under review, Adisseo España S.A. (Adisseo España), sold subject merchandise at less than normal ( printed page 12137) value during the period of review (POR) September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES:

Applicable March 12, 2026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Joshua Jacobson, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0266.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 14, 2021, Commerce published the antidumping duty (AD) order on methionine from Spain. [1 ] On September 3, 2024, Commerce notified interested parties of the opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order covering the POR. [2 ]

On October 17, 2024, based on timely requests for review, [3 ] Commerce initiated an administrative review of the Order with respect to Adisseo España. [4 ] On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue the preliminary results in this administrative review by 90 days. [5 ] On August 15, 2025, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the preliminary results of this review until December 29, 2025, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). [6 ]

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. [7 ] 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. [8 ] On March 5, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the preliminary results of this review by two days, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. [9 ] Accordingly, the deadline for these preliminary results is now March 5, 2026. For a complete description of the events that occurred subsequent to initiation of the review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. [10 ]

Scope of the Order 11

The merchandise covered by the Order is methionine from Spain. For a full description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Methodology

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act. We calculated constructed export price in accordance with section 772 of the Act and normal value in accordance with section 773 of the Act.

For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is provided as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document that is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Preliminary Results of Review

Commerce preliminarily finds that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024:

| Producer/exporter | Weighted-
average
dumping
margin
(percent) |
| --- | --- |
| Adisseo España S.A | 7.11 |

Disclosure

Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties for these preliminary results of this administrative review 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 the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Public Comment

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 21 days after the date of publication of these preliminary results of review in the Federal Register. [12 ] Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed in ACCESS not later than five days after the date for filing case briefs. [13 ] Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), interested parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities. [14 ] All briefs must be filed electronically using ACCESS. [15 ]

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. [16 ] 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 results in this administrative review. 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). [17 ]

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request for a hearing to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS, within 30 ( printed page 12138) days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Hearing requests should contain: (1) the requesting 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. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those issues raised in the respective case briefs. If a hearing is requested, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a date and time to be determined. [18 ] Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.

All submissions, including case and rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing requests, should be filed via ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f). [19 ]

Final Results of Review

Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, pursuant to 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

Assessment Rates

Upon completion of the final results, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review. [20 ] If Adisseo España's weighted-average dumping margin in the final results of this review is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than or equal to 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates for the merchandise by dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for all reviewed sales to the importer by the total entered value of the merchandise sold to the importer. [21 ] Where either Adisseo España's ad valorem weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. [22 ]

In accordance with Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Adisseo España for which it did not know was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate determined in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation (i.e., 37.53 percent) [23 ] if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. [24 ]

The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. [25 ] 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, Commerce 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 cash deposit requirements will be in effect for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the notice of the final results of this administrative review in the Federal Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Adisseo España will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established for Adisseo España in the final results of this administrative review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), then the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for exporters not covered in this review but that were previously reviewed or investigated in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the rate assigned to the company in the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which the producer or exporter was examined; (3) if the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have a company-specific rate but the producer of the subject merchandise does, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate assigned to the producer of the subject merchandise in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the producer was examined; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the all-others rate of 37.53 percent that was established in the original investigation in this proceeding. [26 ] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

This notice 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 double antidumping 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) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Dated: March 9, 2026.

Christopher Abbott,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
