SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 7, 2024, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register its preliminary 

affirmative determination in the LTFV 

investigation of aluminum extrusions 

from Malaysia.1 We invited interested 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Determination. On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days. The deadline for the final 

determination in this investigation is 

now September 26, 2024.2

A summary of the events that 

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for this final determination, may 

be found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3 The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (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/

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is aluminum extrusions 

from Malaysia. For a complete 

description of the scope of this 

investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

During the course of this 

investigation, Commerce received scope 

comments from interested parties. 

Commerce issued Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memoranda to address these 

comments and set aside a period of time 

for parties to address scope issues in 

scope-specific case and rebuttal briefs.4

Between May 22, 2024, and June 24, 

2024, Commerce received postpreliminary determination scope 

comments from interested parties 

regarding numerous products and 

scope-related issues. Between July 20, 

2024, and August 19, 2024, Commerce 

received scope case and rebuttal briefs 

from numerous interested parties. We 

made changes to the scope of the 

investigation from the scope published 

in the Preliminary Determination, as 

noted in Appendix I.5

Verification 

Commerce conducted verifications of 

the sales and cost information submitted 

by Genesis Aluminium Industries Sdn. 

Bhd. (Genesis)/Zenshin Industries Sdn. 

Bhd. (Zenshin) 6 and P.A. Extrusion (M) 

Sdn. Bhd. (PAE),7 consistent with 

section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). Commerce used 

standard procedures to conduct the 

verifications, including examining 

relevant sales and accounting records 

and original source documents provided 

by Genesis/Zenshin and PAE. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by interested 

parties in this investigation are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached to this notice 

as Appendix II. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Determination, we made certain changes 

to our calculations of Genesis/Zenshin 

and PAE’s estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins. For a discussion of 

these changes, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Use of Adverse Facts Available 

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Determination, pursuant sections 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act, Commerce 

determined an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin based on 

adverse facts available (AFA) to EL 

Aluminium Billet (M) Sdn Bhd, Kosan 

Aluminum Extrusion SDN. BHD, and 

the Winstar Group. No party 

commented on our application of AFA. 

Accordingly for this final determination, 

we continue to find that the application 

of AFA pursuant to sections 776(a) and 

(b) of the Act is warranted to determine 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins for EL Aluminium 

Billet (M) Sdn Bhd, Kosan Aluminum 

Extrusion SDN. BHD, and the Winstar 

Group. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not

Accompanying the Uruguay Round Agreements 

Act, H.R. Doc. 103–316, Vol. 1 (1994) (SAA) at 873. 9See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 

Comment 2. 10 In the Preliminary Determination, Commerce 

determined that Genesis and Zenshin should be 

collapsed and treated as a single entity. No party 

commented on this decision. For this final 

determination, Commerce has continued to treat 

Genesis and Zenshin as a single entity. Although 

Commerce selected P.A. Resources Berhad (PARB) 

as a mandatory respondent, PARB reported that it 

is a holding company that is not involved in the 

production or exportation of the merchandise under 

investigation but that its subsidiary, P.A. Extrusion 

(M) Sdn. Bhd., produced the merchandise under 

investigation and sold that merchandise to the 

United States during the POI. Consequently, 

Commerce determined an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for P.A. Extrusion (M) 

Sdn. Bhd., the only producer and exporter of the 

merchandise under consideration owned by PARB. 

See Preliminary Determination PDM at 4 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for individually investigated 

exporters and producers, excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act, i.e., facts otherwise available. 

However, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for all exporters and 

producers individually investigated are 

zero, de minimis, or determined entirely 

under section 776 of the Act (i.e., based 

entirely on facts otherwise available or 

adverse facts available), Commerce may 

use any reasonable method to establish 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin for all other producers 

and exporters. 

The SAA clarifies that if the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for all exporters and 

producers individually investigated are 

zero, de minimis, or determined entirely 

under section 776 of the Act, then the 

expected method for establishing the 

estimated all-others rate for exporters 

and producers not individually 

investigated is to weight average the 

zero and de minimis estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins and 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins based on facts 

available, provided that volume data is 

available, unless doing so is not feasible, 

or the results would not be reasonably 

reflective of potential dumping margins 

for non-investigated exporters or 

producers.8

In the final determination, Commerce 

calculated estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins for Genesis/Zenshin 

and PAE that are equal to zero and 

based the dumping margins for the 

companies that failed to respond to 

Commerce’s quantity and value (Q&V) 

questionnaire on AFA. Further, because 

the information necessary to calculate a 

weighted average was not available, 

calculating the all-others rate pursuant 

to the expected method was not feasible. 

Accordingly, as another reasonable 

method we calculated an all-others rate 

equal to a simple average of the two 

mandatory respondents’ zero percent 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins and the three estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins that 

Commerce based on AFA and assigned 

to the companies that failed to respond 

to Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire.9

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist:10

All Others ..................................................................................................................................................................................... 16.51 

* Rate based on AFA. 

Consistent with section 733(b)(3) of 

the Act, Commerce has determined that 

the individually examined respondents 

listed above with zero percent estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

have not sold subject merchandise at 

LTFV during the POI. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with this final determination to 

interested parties 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). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all applicable entries of 

subject merchandise, as described in 

Appendix I of this notice, which were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after May 7, 

2024, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register, except for the entries 

of subject merchandise produced and 

exported by Genesis/Zenshin and 

produced and exported by PAE. These 

suspension of liquidation instructions 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), where 

appropriate, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin or the estimated allothers rate, as follows: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the companies listed 

above that exported the subject 

merchandise will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin determined in 

this final determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a company identified 

above but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage 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 estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

all other producers and exporters. 

Because the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins for Genesis/ 

Zenshin and PAE are zero percent, 

entries of subject merchandise that are 

produced and exported by Genesis/ 

Zenshin or produced and exported by 

PAE will not be subject to suspension of 

liquidation or cash deposit 

requirements. In such situations, 

Commerce also applies the exclusion to 

the provisional measures to the 

producer/exporter combination that was 

examined in the investigation. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
80460 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2024 / Notices 

Accordingly, Commerce will not be 

directing CBP to suspend liquidation of 

entries of subject merchandise produced 

and exported by Genesis/Zenshin or 

produced and exported by PAE. 

However, entries of subject merchandise 

from these companies with any other 

producer/exporter combination (i.e., 

where Genesis/Zenshin, is either the 

producer or the exporter, but not both; 

and where PAE is either producer or the 

exporter, but not both), or entries of 

subject merchandise exported by third 

parties that sourced the subject 

merchandise from the excluded 

producer/exporter combinations, will be 

subject to suspension of liquidation and 

the cash deposit instructions at the all 

others rate. 

Further, because the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero for subject merchandise produced 

and exported by Genesis/Zenshin and 

produced and exported by PAE, entries 

of such merchandise will be excluded 

from the potential antidumping duty 

order. Such an exclusion will not be 

applicable to merchandise exported to 

the United States by Genesis/Zenshin or 

PAE in any other producer/exporter 

combinations or by third parties that 

sourced subject merchandise from the 

excluded producer/exporter 

combination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

this final affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Because Commerce’s 

final determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of subject aluminum 

extrusions no later than 45 days after 

this final determination. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does not 

exist, this proceeding will be 

terminated, all cash deposits posted will 

be refunded, and suspension of 

liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

Commerce will issue an antidumping 

duty order directing CBP to assess, upon 

further instruction by Commerce, 

antidumping duties on all imports of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section 

above. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials, or 

conversion to judicial protective order, 

is hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This final determination and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: September 26, 2024.

and Compliance. 

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation are aluminum extrusions, 

regardless of form, finishing, or fabrication, 

whether assembled with other parts or 

unassembled, whether coated, painted, 

anodized, or thermally improved. Aluminum 

extrusions are shapes and forms, produced 

by an extrusion process, made from 

aluminum alloys having metallic elements 

corresponding to the alloy series designations 

published by the Aluminum Association 

commencing with the numbers 1, 3, and 6 (or 

proprietary equivalents or other certifying 

body equivalents). Specifically, subject 

aluminum extrusions made from an 

aluminum alloy with an Aluminum 

Association series designation commencing 

with the number 1 contain not less than 99 

percent aluminum by weight. Subject 

aluminum extrusions made from an 

aluminum alloy with an Aluminum 

Association series designation commencing 

with the number 3 contain manganese as the 

major alloying element, with manganese 

accounting for not more than 3.0 percent of 

total materials by weight. Subject aluminum 

extrusions made from an aluminum alloy 

with an Aluminum Association series 

designation commencing with the number 6 

contain magnesium and silicon as the major 

alloying elements, with magnesium 

accounting for at least 0.1 percent but not 

more than 2.0 percent of total materials by 

weight, and silicon accounting for at least 0.1 

percent but not more than 3.0 percent of total 

materials by weight. The scope also includes 

merchandise made from an aluminum alloy 

with an Aluminum Association series 

designation commencing with the number 5 

(or proprietary equivalents or other certifying 

body equivalents) that have a magnesium 

content accounting for up to but not more 

than 2.0 percent of total materials by weight. 

The country of origin of the aluminum 

extrusion is determined by where the metal 

is extruded (i.e., pressed through a die). 

Aluminum extrusions are produced and 

imported in a wide variety of shapes and 

forms, including, but not limited to, hollow 

profiles, other solid profiles, pipes, tubes, 

bars, and rods. Aluminum extrusions that are 

drawn subsequent to extrusion (drawn 

aluminum) are also included in the scope. 

Subject aluminum extrusions are produced 

and imported with a variety of coatings and 

surface treatments, and types of fabrication. 

The types of coatings and treatments applied 

to aluminum extrusions include, but are not 

limited to, extrusions that are mill finished 

(i.e., without any coating or further 

finishing), brushed, buffed, polished, 

anodized (including bright dip), liquid 

painted, electroplated, chromate converted, 

powder coated, sublimated, wrapped, and/or 

bead blasted. Subject aluminum extrusions 

may also be fabricated, i.e., prepared for 

assembly, or thermally improved. Such 

operations would include, but are not limited 

to, extrusions that are cut-to-length, 

machined, drilled, punched, notched, bent, 

stretched, stretch-formed, hydroformed, 

knurled, swedged, mitered, chamfered, 

threaded, spun, etched, and engraved. 

Performing such operations in third countries 

does not otherwise remove the merchandise 

from the scope of the investigation. 

The types of products that meet the 

definition of subject merchandise include but 

are not limited to, the aluminum extrusion 

portions of vehicle roof rails and sun/moon 

roof framing, solar panel racking rails and 

framing, tradeshow display fixtures and 

framing, parts for tents or clear span 

structures, fence posts, drapery rails or rods, 

electrical conduits, door thresholds, flooring 

trim, electric vehicle battery trays, heat sinks, 

signage or advertising poles, telescoping 

poles, or cleaning system components. 

Aluminum extrusions may be heat sinks, 

which are fabricated aluminum extrusions 

that dissipate heat away from a heat source 

and may serve other functions, such as 

structural functions. Heat sinks come in a 

variety of sizes and shapes, including but not 

limited to a flat electronic heat sink, which 

is a solid aluminum extrusion with at least 

one flat side used to mount electronic or 

mechanical devices; a heat sink that is a 

housing for electronic controls or motors; 

lighting heat sinks, which dissipate heat 

away from LED devices; and process and 

exchange heat sinks, which are tube 

extrusions with fins or plates used to hold 

radiator tubing. Heat sinks are included in 

the scope, regardless of whether the design 

and production of the heat sinks are 

organized around meeting specified thermal 

performance requirements and regardless of 

whether they have been tested to comply 

with such requirements. For purposes of the 

investigations on aluminum extrusions from 

the People’s Republic of China, only heat 

sinks designed and produced around meeting 

specified thermal performance requirements 

and tested to comply with such requirements 

are included in the scope. Excluded from the 

scope of the investigation are large, multifinned extruded aluminum heat sinks 

designed to dissipate heat, meeting the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2024 / Notices 80461 

following criteria: (1) an aspect ratio (defined 

as the ratio of the area of a void in an 

extrusion to the size of the smallest gap 

opening at the entrance of that void and 

calculated by dividing the void area by the 

square of the gap opening) greater than 15 to 

1; or (2) the circumscribing circle diameter 

(defined as the diameter of the smallest circle 

that will entirely enclose the extrusion’s 

cross-sectional profile) rounded up to the 

next half inch, exceeds 10 inches, and the 

weight-per-foot (defined as the theoretical 

weight of the profile as extruded prior to any 

machining that may remove material and 

calculated by multiplying the area of the 

profile in square inches by 1.2) exceeds 3.50 

pounds per foot. 

Merchandise that is comprised solely of 

aluminum extrusions or aluminum 

extrusions and fasteners, whether assembled 

at the time of importation or unassembled, is 

covered by the scope in its entirety. A 

fastener is any material or part that serves an 

attachment function, fastens two or more 

components, or serves to prevent or restrict 

movement of a component or another item. 

Examples of fasteners include, but are not 

limited to, nuts, bolts, clamps, and end caps. 

The scope also includes aluminum 

extrusions contained in merchandise that is 

a part or subassembly of a larger whole, 

whether or not the merchandise also contains 

a component other than aluminum 

extrusions that is beyond a fastener. Such 

merchandise may be either assembled or 

unassembled at the time of importation. A 

‘‘part or subassembly’’ is defined as a unit 

designed to be attached to, or incorporated 

with, one or more other units or components 

into a larger completed product. Only the 

aluminum extrusion portion of the 

merchandise described in this paragraph, 

whether assembled or unassembled, is 

subject merchandise included in the scope 

and subject to duties. Examples of 

merchandise that is a part or subassembly of 

a larger whole include, but are not limited to, 

window parts or subassemblies; door unit 

parts or subassemblies; shower and bath 

parts or subassemblies; solar panel mounting 

systems; fenestration system parts or 

subassemblies, such as units which make up 

a curtain wall, and window walls and 

window wall units, which collectively make 

up a fenestration system on the side of a 

building; and parts or subassemblies of 

storefronts; furniture parts or subassemblies; 

appliance parts or subassemblies, such as fin 

evaporator coils and systems for refrigerators; 

railing or deck system parts or subassemblies; 

fence system parts or subassemblies; motor 

vehicle parts or subassemblies, such as 

bumpers for motor vehicles; trailer parts or 

subassemblies, such as side walls, flooring, 

and roofings; electric vehicle charging station 

parts or subassemblies; or signage or 

advertising system parts or subassemblies. 

Parts or subassemblies described by this 

paragraph that are subject to duties in their 

entirety pursuant to existing antidumping 

and countervailing duty orders (defined as 

those antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders that are in effect as of the date of 

publication of order resulting from this 

investigation) are excluded from the scope of 

this investigation. Any part or subassembly 

that otherwise meets the requirements of this 

scope and that is not covered by other 

antidumping and/or countervailing duty 

orders remains subject to the scope of the 

investigation. 

The scope excludes aluminum extrusions 

contained in fully and permanently 

assembled merchandise, if the assembled 

merchandise is not a part or subassembly of 

a larger whole. To be excluded under this 

paragraph, the assembled merchandise must 

also contain a component other than 

aluminum extrusions, beyond fasteners. In 

addition, to be excluded under this 

paragraph, the assembled merchandise must 

be ready for use as imported, without 

undergoing after importation any processing, 

fabrication, finishing, or assembly or the 

addition of parts or material (with the 

exception of consumable parts or material or 

interchangeable media or tooling). 

The scope also excludes aluminum 

extrusions contained in unassembled 

merchandise if the unassembled merchandise 

is not a part or subassembly of a larger whole. 

To be excluded under this paragraph, the 

unassembled merchandise must also contain 

a component other than aluminum 

extrusions, beyond fasteners. In addition, to 

be excluded under this paragraph, the 

unassembled merchandise must be a 

packaged combination of parts that is ready 

to be assembled as imported, without 

undergoing after importation any processing, 

fabrication, or finishing or the addition of 

parts or material (with the exception of 

consumable parts or material or 

interchangeable media or tooling). To be 

excluded under this paragraph, the 

unassembled merchandise must be sold and 

enter as a discrete kit on one Customs entry 

form. 

Examples of such excluded assembled and 

unassembled merchandise include windows 

with glass, door units with door panel and 

glass, motor vehicles, trailers, furniture, 

appliances, and solar panels and solar 

modules. Window walls and window wall 

units are not considered windows with glass 

for purposes of this exclusion. 

The scope also excludes merchandise 

containing multiple subassemblies of a larger 

whole with non-extruded aluminum 

components beyond fasteners. A 

subassembly that meets the definition of 

subject merchandise, including any product 

expressly identified as subject merchandise 

in this scope, can only be excluded if it is 

fully and permanently assembled with at 

least one other different subassembly, and 

where (1) at least one of the subassemblies, 

if entered individually, would not itself be 

subject to the scope; (2) the aluminum 

extrusions within the merchandise 

collectively account for 50 percent or less of 

the actual weight of the combined multiple 

subassemblies (without including any nonextruded aluminum fasteners in the 

calculations); and (3) the aluminum 

extrusions within the merchandise 

collectively account for 50 percent or less of 

the number of pieces of the combined 

multiple subassemblies (without including 

any non-extruded aluminum fasteners in the 

calculations). 

The scope also includes aluminum 

extrusions that have been further processed 

in a third country, including, but not limited 

to, the finishing and fabrication processes 

described above, assembly, whether with

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 7, 2024, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register its preliminary 

affirmative determination in the LTFV 

investigation of aluminum extrusions 

from Mexico.1 We invited interested 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Determination. On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days. The deadline for the final 

determination of this investigation is 

now September 26, 2024.2

A summary of the events that 

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for this final determination, may 

be found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3 The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

Commerce issued Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memoranda to address these 

comments and set aside a period of time 

for parties to address scope issues in 

scope-specific case and rebuttal briefs.4

Between May 22, 2024, and June 24, 

2024, Commerce received postpreliminary determination scope 

comments from interested parties 

regarding numerous products and 

scope-related issues. Between July 20, 

2024, and August 19, 2024, Commerce 

received scope case and rebuttal briefs 

from numerous interested parties. We 

made changes to the scope of the 

investigation from the scope published 

in the Preliminary Determination, as 

noted in Appendix I.5

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
