Commerce Imposes Duties on Turkish Aluminum Sheets After Review Delays
Published Date: 4/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that aluminum sheets from Türkiye were sold in the U.S. for less than fair value between April 2023 and March 2024. This means some Turkish exporters might have to pay extra duties to level the playing field. The final decision, effective April 10, 2026, follows deadline delays caused by government shutdowns and paperwork backlogs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Must Certify Duty Reimbursement
If you import CAAS, you must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping or countervailing duties before liquidation under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If you fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume you were reimbursed and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase duties by the amount of any countervailing duties.
Final Dumping Margins Set
If you import common alloy aluminum sheet (CAAS) from Türkiye, Commerce determined final dumping margins for the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024: Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 4.01%, Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. 14.19%, and a non-selected company rate of 9.10%. These margins are part of the final results published and are the basis for assessing antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rates Effective on Publication
For shipments of CAAS entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (April 10, 2026), U.S. importers must post cash deposits equal to the company-specific rates from the final results: Assan 4.01% and Teknik 14.19%; other exporters not covered will be subject to the all-others rate of 4.85%. These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Entries Unknownly Destined to U.S. Liquidated at 4.85%
For entries of CAAS produced by a respondent where the producer did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others less-than-fair-value (LTFV) rate of 4.85% ad valorem if there is no rate for any intermediate company in the transaction. This applies to entries during the period of review when the condition is met.
