producer of OBAs, timely requested an
administrative review of TFM.3
Additionally, TFM and its affiliated U.S.
importer TFM North America, Inc
requested a review of TFM.4 On July 12,
2023, we initiated this administrative
review with respect to TFM.5
On December 29, 2022, Commerce
revoked the Order effective November
