Summary

Importers Face New Antidumping Duties
The Department of Commerce found that common alloy aluminum sheet from Türkiye was sold in the U.S. at less than fair value for the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, and importers may owe antidumping duties. Commerce assigned weighted-average dumping margins of 4.01% for Assan, 14.19% for Teknik, and 9.10% for the non-selected company; the final results are applicable April 10, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rates Required on Future Shipments
For shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication, cash deposit rates will apply. The company-specific cash deposit rate for Assan and Teknik will equal the weighted-average dumping margins from this review (4.01% and 14.19%, respectively), and the cash deposit for all other producers/exporters will remain 4.85% (the all-others rate).
Non-Examined Company Assigned 9.10% Rate
The company not selected for individual examination, ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., will be assigned a weighted-average dumping margin of 9.10% for the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. That rate will be used to liquidate applicable entries and for assessment for that company.
Importers Must Certify Duty Reimbursement or Risk Double Duties
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries. Failure to file may lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and could result in assessment of double antidumping duties and/or an increase in antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Default Rate for Unknown-Destination Entries
For entries of subject merchandise produced by examined respondents when 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 LTFV investigation rate of 4.85% ad valorem if there is no rate for any intermediate company involved.
