Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers: Duties Removed and Refunds Ordered
If you import aluminum can stock from the listed countries, Commerce is revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders in part so CBP will liquidate those aluminum can stock entries without regard to AD/CVD duties. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund any estimated antidumping and countervailing duties on all unliquidated entries of the excluded aluminum can stock retroactive to the dates suspension of liquidation began (China CVD: April 23, 2018; China AD: June 22, 2018; Bahrain et al. CVD: August 14, 2020; Bahrain et al. AD: October 15, 2020).
Scope Clarified: Which Can Stock Is Excluded
Commerce clarified that 'aluminum can stock' is excluded from the orders if it is suitable for beverage cans, produced to gauges 0.200 mm to 0.292 mm, has a lubricant on flat surfaces, and has temper H-19, H-41, H-48, H-39, or H-391. Commerce also states that such can stock is generally classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 7606.12.3045 and 7606.12.3055, but that the written description is dispositive regardless of HTSUS classification.
