Commerce Fixes Aluminum Foil Duty Calculations
Published Date: 5/27/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed some math mistakes in the review of aluminum foil imports from China for April 2023 to March 2024. This change affects companies involved in the trade and could adjust the money they owe or get back. The updated results took effect on May 27, 2026, so everyone should check the new numbers carefully.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Revised Dumping Margins Set
Commerce amended the final results for April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024 and set exporter-specific dumping margins. Jiangsu Dingsheng and affiliates: 26.60%; Jiangsu Zhongji and affiliates: 29.89%; listed separate-rate companies (Dong-IL, Eastern Valley, Korea Aluminium, Lotte, Xiamen Xiashun): 28.01%. These amended percentages are effective as of May 27, 2026.
Importers Must Certify Reimbursement or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
CBP Will Assess Duties After 35 Days
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries in accordance with these amended final results. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the notice publication, and if a timely summons is filed, CBP will be instructed not to liquidate relevant entries until the 90-day statutory injunction window has expired.
New Cash Deposit Rules for Shipments
Effective upon publication for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date, cash deposit rates will be: (1) the amended final result rate for exporters listed with separate rates; (2) existing exporter-specific rates for previously reviewed exporters not listed; (3) the China-wide entity rate for Chinese exporters not entitled to a separate rate; and (4) the supplier's rate for non-Chinese exporters that have not received their own rate. These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
