Ltd. (Longi Solar), and Zhejiang Aiko Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Aiko) did not ship subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. No parties filed timely arguments disputing Commerce's no shipment determination. <SU>8</SU> <FTREF/> In these final results of review, we continue to find that Jinko Solar, Longi Solar, and Zhejiang Aiko did not ship subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. <FTNT> <SU>7</SU>  Jinko Solar refers to the following companies which Commerce has previously treated as a single entity: Jinko Solar Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar Technology (Haining) Co., Ltd.; Yuhuan Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Jinko Tiansheng Solar Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar (Chuzhou) Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar (Yiwu) Co., Ltd.; and JinkoSolar (Shangrao) Co., Ltd. </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>8</SU>  On August 27, 2025, Jinko Solar filed untimely arguments regarding its no shipments claim which Commerce rejected. <E T="03">See</E> Commerce's Letter, “Rejection of Letters,” dated November 24, 2025; <E T="03">see also</E> Memorandum, “Rejection of Letters,” dated November 24, 2025. </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part</HD> In the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> Commerce determined that there were no entries of Red Sun Energy Long An Company Limited's (Red Sun) solar cells/modules into the United States during the POR that were suspended and subject to antidumping duties, and thus, consistent with its practice, Commerce stated that it intended to rescind this review with respect to Red Sun. No parties commented on this preliminary determination. In the absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from Red Sun during the POR, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to Red Sun. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Separate Rates</HD> No parties commented on Commerce's preliminary determination to grant separate rates to certain companies  <SU>9</SU> <FTREF/> and to not grant a separate rate to Anji DaSol Solar Energy Science & Technology Co., Ltd. We have made no changes to Commerce's preliminary separate rates determination in these final results of review. <FTNT> <SU>9</SU>  The companies to which Commerce granted a separate rate are: (1) Shenzhen Sungold Solar Co., Ltd. (Sungold); (2) BYD H.K. Co., Ltd.; (3) BYD (Shangluo) Industrial Co., Ltd.; (4) Maodi Solar Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd.; (5) Trina Solar Energy Development Company Limited; and (6) Trina Solar Science & Technology (Thailand) Ltd. </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Dumping Margins for Separate Rate Companies</HD> The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address what dumping margin to apply to respondents that are not selected for individual 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 calculating the dumping margin for respondents that are not individually examined in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally “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> dumping margins, and any dumping margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.” Because we calculated a dumping margin that is not zero, <E T="03">de minimis,</E> or based entirely on facts available for Sungold, the sole participating mandatory respondent, we assigned the separate rate recipients that we did not individually examine a dumping margin equal to Sungold's dumping margin consistent with Commerce's practice and section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
