Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Oman Aluminium Rolling Company SPC sold aluminum sheets in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from April 2024 to March 2025. This means extra duties might be added to their products to keep things fair for American businesses. Companies and the public can share their thoughts before the final decision, which started on July 20, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Cash Deposit Rate Rules After Final Results
When the final results of this review are published, cash deposit rates for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after that publication date will apply. The company-specific rate will be the rate from the final results unless it is less than 0.50% (de minimis), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; the all-others rate remains 5.29%.
Automatic Liquidation at 5.29% for Certain Entries
For entries during the review period produced by OARC where the producer did not know the goods were destined for the United States, Commerce intends to instruct Customs to liquidate those entries at the all-others LTFV rate of 5.29% if there is no rate for intermediate companies.
Importer Must Certify Reimbursement or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f). If you do not file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Oman Producer Has 2.23% Preliminary Margin
If you import common alloy aluminum sheet from Oman Aluminium Rolling Company SPC, Commerce preliminarily found a weighted-average dumping margin of 2.23% for sales during April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025. This preliminary finding can lead to extra antidumping duties on those entries if finalized.
How Commerce Will Calculate Assessment Rates
If the final weighted-average dumping margin for OARC is not zero or de minimis (less than 0.50%), Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates by dividing the total amount of dumping for an importer's examined sales by the total entered value of those sales. If entered values are not available for all sales, Commerce will calculate a per-unit assessment rate using quantity. If a margin or importer-specific ad valorem rate is zero or de minimis, CBP will liquidate without regard to antidumping duties.
