Glycine From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review

DATES:

Applicable March 4, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 1, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this CCR, determining that Salvi demonstrated that it eliminated the use of Chinese inputs from its processing of glycine in fiscal years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 and that it maintains its books and records to accurately document the origin of the in-scope materials entering its inventory which are used to process glycine. ⁽¹⁾

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. ⁽²⁾ 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. ⁽³⁾ Between April 2025 and February 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for these final results of review. ⁽⁴⁾ Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now February 27, 2026. ⁽⁵⁾ For a complete description of the events that followed the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. ⁽⁶⁾

Scope of the Order  ⁽⁷⁾

The product covered by the Order is glycine, which is a free-flowing crystalline material, like salt or sugar. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. ⁽⁸⁾

Analysis of Comments Received

All issues raised are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, ⁽⁹⁾ and are listed in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

Commerce finds that, based upon the record of this CCR, Salvi failed to demonstrate that it no longer uses Chinese-origin glycine and is ineligible to participate in the importer certification process  ⁽¹⁰⁾ because, after further review of the record evidence and comments submitted, we find that Salvi failed to maintain its books and records to accurately document the origin of the in-scope China-origin glycine entering its inventory which is used to process glycine. As a result, glycine produced, processed, or exported by Salvi continues to be subject to the Order on glycine from China.
