Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary revocation for aluminum can stock
Commerce preliminarily intends to revoke, in part, the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from the listed countries with respect to certain aluminum can stock. The affected can stock is described by gauge (0.200 mm to 0.292 mm), tempers (including H-19, H-41, H-48, H-39, and H-391), and a lubricant on flat surfaces; this action is announced as of August 11, 2026.
Revocation retroactive for unliquidated entries
Commerce preliminarily states that the revocation, in part, will be retroactive and will apply to all unliquidated entries of the specified aluminum can stock. That means unliquidated import entries of such can stock would be treated under the revocation announced in this notice.
Written description controls over HTS classification
Commerce preliminarily states that the written description of the aluminum can stock exclusion is dispositive regardless of Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classification. While aluminum can stock is generally classifiable under HTSUS 7606.12.3045 and 7606.12.3055, the written product description controls even if an entry is filed under a different HTSUS subheading.
Temper H-39 added/aligned in exclusion language
Commerce notes an error in prior Bahrain-related CVD orders and proposes to align exclusion language across orders to include temper H-39 among the tempers excluded for aluminum can stock. Commerce invites comment on including temper H-39 in the China order exclusion language to align the two sets of orders.
