Oman Aluminum Faces Extra Duties in Routine Trade Review
Published Date: 4/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Oman Aluminium Rolling Company sold aluminum sheets in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from April 2023 to March 2024. Because of this, extra duties will apply to their imports starting April 16, 2026, helping U.S. aluminum makers compete fairly. This means companies importing from Oman should expect changes in costs and rules soon.

Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
14.71% Antidumping Duty on OARC Imports
The Department of Commerce found Oman Aluminium Rolling Company SPC sold common alloy aluminum sheet in the U.S. at dumped prices and established a weighted-average dumping margin of 14.71% for the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. Antidumping duties tied to that 14.71% margin will apply to OARC’s imports beginning April 16, 2026, which will increase the import cost for companies bringing these sheets into the United States.
Cash Deposit Rate Requirement for Shipments
For shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date, the cash deposit rate for merchandise exported by OARC will equal the 14.71% weighted-average dumping margin. For exporters or producers not covered in this review, company-specific rates from prior segments remain in effect, and the all-others rate remains 5.29%. These cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Certificate and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Automatic Assessment for Unreviewed OARC Entries
Commerce will apply its automatic assessment practice to entries produced by OARC for which OARC did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States. In such cases, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company involved; the all-others rate was previously established as 5.29%.
