Published Date: 9/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that the sole producer/exporter subject to this review, Non- Ferrous Metal Works (SA) (PTY) Ltd. (NFMW), made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) December 1, 2023, through May 31, 2025. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Dumping Margin Announced
Commerce preliminarily found Non‑Ferrous Metal Works (SA) (PTY) Ltd. sold brass rod at less than normal value and calculated a weighted‑average dumping margin of 19.82% for the period December 1, 2023, through May 31, 2025. These are preliminary results published September 3, 2026; interested parties may comment before final results.
Reimbursement Certificate Required Or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period under 19 CFR 351.402(f). If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Antidumping Duties To Be Assessed
Commerce intends to assess antidumping duties based on the final results of this review and will calculate importer‑specific assessment rates using the ratio of dumping to entered value (or a per‑unit rate where entered values are missing). If a final weighted‑average margin is zero or de minimis (less than 0.50%), Commerce will instruct liquidation without antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rates Set After Final Results
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, the cash deposit rate for the listed company will be the rate established in the final results (if that rate is less than 0.50%, the cash deposit rate will be zero). The cash deposit for other exporters/manufacturers not covered by this review will remain the all‑others rate of 10.67%.
Automatic Assessment Practice Applies
Commerce will apply its automatic assessment practice: for POR entries of subject merchandise produced by NFMW where NFMW did not know the merchandise was destined for the U.S., Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all‑others rate from the LTFV investigation (10.67%) if there is no rate for intermediate company(ies).
