The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes only; the written product description of the scope of the <E T="03">Order</E> is dispositive. For a full description of the scope, <E T="03">see</E> the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Methodology</HD> Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act. Export price and constructed export price are calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. NV is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, <E T="03">see</E> the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Rate for Non-Examined Companies</HD> The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when determining the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally “an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and <E T="03">de minimis</E> margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.” We preliminarily calculated dumping margins for the two mandatory respondents, Ecos/Grantec and Zinus Indonesia, of 31.17 percent and 0.00 percent, respectively, and we have assigned to the non-selected companies a rate of 31.17 percent, which is the rate for Ecos/Grantec. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Preliminary Results of the Review</HD> We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023: <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>5</SU>  We are treating these companies as a single entity for purposes of this review.
