Cash Deposit Rules for Final Results
If these preliminary results are finalized, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results. Cash deposit rules: company-specific estimated rates will apply unless the rate is less than 0.50%, in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; where producer and exporter rates differ, the higher rate applies; if only one has a rate, that rate applies; and the all-others rate remains 3.45%.
Preliminary Finding: Turkish Subsidies
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that producers and exporters of common alloy aluminum sheet from the Republic of Türkiye received countervailable subsidies during the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. This is a preliminary determination published July 13, 2026 and interested parties are invited to comment on these results.
Preliminary Company-Specific Rates
Commerce preliminarily assigned net countervailable subsidy rates for the review period: Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. — 2.64%; Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. — 2.47%; ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. — 2.56%; and P.M.S. Metal Profil Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. — 2.56%. These rates cover the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 and are reported in the July 13, 2026 notice.
Assessment Timing and Litigation Hold
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine and CBP will assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.
