Published Date: 8/8/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. says some Chinese aluminum foil makers got unfair help from their government during 2023. Because of this, certain companies might face extra fees, but 18 companies are off the hook for now. Businesses should pay attention and can share their thoughts before final decisions are made.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary finding may trigger duties
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that countervailable subsidies were provided to producers and exporters of certain aluminum foil from the People’s Republic of China for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Because of this finding, those producers and exporters might face countervailing duties (extra fees) tied to that 2023 review.
Review rescinded for 18 companies
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review in part for 18 named companies for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Those 18 companies are not being reviewed in this action and therefore are not subject to the preliminary review outcome at this time.
