They also stopped reviewing 14 other companies in this case. This means no extra duties will be charged for Toyo Kohan during this time, and the decision is effective as of August 5, 2026. ## Abstract The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd. (Toyo Kohan) did not make sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. In addition, we are rescinding the review with respect to 14 companies. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review. ## Effects PRIA read - Toyo Kohan: No Dumping Found: benefit, medium.
