Summary

Analyzed Economic Effects

OARC Assigned 13.53% Dumping Margin
If you import common alloy aluminum sheet from Oman made by Oman Aluminium Rolling Company SPC (OARC) for the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, Commerce determined an amended estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 13.53 percent. This amended result is official as of May 29, 2026 and will be the basis for assessment of antidumping duties on entries covered by the review.
Cash Deposit Rates Updated on Publication
Beginning on the publication date (May 29, 2026), the cash deposit rate for OARC will be set equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in this review, and the all-others rate remains 5.29 percent ad valorem. These cash deposit requirements apply to shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the publication date.
File Reimbursement Certificate or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation of the relevant entries for this review period. If you fail to file the certificate as required, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess doubled antidumping duties.
Timing for Assessment and Possible Stay
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after this notice is published (publication date May 29, 2026). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be instructed not to liquidate relevant entries until the 90-day statutory injunction period has expired.
