Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Turkish aluminum foil makers sold their products in the U.S. for less than fair value from November 2023 to October 2024. They’re stopping the review for one company but continuing with others, which could affect import duties and prices soon. Businesses involved should pay attention and get ready for possible changes starting May 12, 2026.

Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Announced
If you import aluminum foil from Türkiye, Commerce preliminarily found weighted-average dumping margins of 1.84% for the Assan Single Entity and 7.39% for Panda for sales during November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024. These preliminary margins were announced in a notice applicable May 12, 2026 and could lead to antidumping duties if finalized.
Cash Deposit Rates for Future Imports
Commerce will require cash deposits for shipments of the subject aluminum foil entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results; the deposit rate will be the company-specific rate set in the final results or zero if the rate is less than 0.50%. The all-others rate remains 1.95% as established in the investigation.
How Duties Will Be Assessed
If a respondent's final weighted-average dumping margin is 0.50% or higher, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of total dumping to the entered value of examined sales, or a per-unit rate if entered values are missing. If the margin or importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis (less than 0.50%), Commerce will instruct Customs to liquidate those entries without antidumping duties.
Rescission for ASAS — Duties Still Assessed
Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to ASAS but will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate ASAS entries at rates equal to the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption. Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the notice's publication.
