SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 2, 1998, and February 19, 1999, Commerce published in
the Federal Register the AD orders on preserved mushrooms from Chile,
China, India, and Indonesia.\1\
\1\ See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Preserved
Mushrooms from Chile, 63 FR 66529 (December 2, 1998) (Chile Order);
Notice of Amendment of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Preserved Mushrooms
from the People's Republic of China, 64 FR 8308 (February 19, 1999)
(China Order); Notice of Amendment of Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain
Preserved Mushrooms from India, 64 FR 8311 (February 19, 1999)
(India Order); Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Preserved
Mushrooms from India, 64 FR 8311 (February 19, 1999) (India Order);
and Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Preserved Mushrooms
from Indonesia, 64 FR 8310 (February 19, 1999) (Indonesia Order)
(collectively, Orders).
On February 2, 2026, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce
initiated,\3\ the fifth sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a
result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the
Orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping,
and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.\4\ On July 16,
2026, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to sections 751(c)
and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Orders would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.\5\

Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the Orders are certain preserved mushrooms
whether imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. The
preserved mushrooms covered under this order are the species Agaricus
Bisporus and Agaricus Bitorquis. ``Preserved mushrooms'' refer to
mushrooms that have been prepared or preserved by cleaning, blanching,
and sometimes slicing or cutting. These mushrooms are then packed and
heated in containers including but not limited to cans or glass jars in
a suitable liquid medium, including but not limited to water, brine,
butter or butter sauce. Preserved mushrooms may be imported whole,
sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. Included within the scope of the
investigation are ``brined'' mushrooms, which are presalted and packed
in a heavy salt solution to provisionally preserve them for further
processing.
Excluded from the scope of this investigation are the following:
(1) all other species of mushroom, including straw mushrooms;
(2) all fresh and chilled mushrooms, including ``refrigerated'' or
``quick blanched mushrooms'';
(3) dried mushrooms;
(4) frozen mushrooms; and
(5) ``marinated'', ``acidified'' or ``pickled'' mushrooms, which
are prepared or preserved by means of vinegar or acetic acid, but may
contain oil or other additives.
The merchandise subject to the Orders is classifiable under
subheadings 2003.10.0127, 2003.10.0131, 2003.10.0137, 2003.10.0143,
2003.10.0147, 2003.10.0153, and 0711.51.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and Customs purposes, Commerce's written
description of the merchandise under the Orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby
orders the continuation of the Orders. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect AD cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the Orders will be July
16, 2026.\6\ Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year reviews
of the Orders not later than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary of the
date of the last determination by the ITC.
\6\ See ITC Final Determination.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR

information in this segment of the proceeding. 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 violation which
is subject to sanction.
