Türkiye foil gets extra taxes for unfair aid in 2023.
Published Date: 10/2/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some aluminum foil makers in Türkiye got unfair government help in 2023. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will apply to their products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. These new rules started on October 2, 2026, and could affect prices and trade with Türkiye.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Cash deposit requirement starts on publication
Commerce will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for Assan and Panda at the 2.65% and 3.82% rates on shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date of publication of these final results (October 2, 2026). These cash deposit requirements are effective upon publication and will remain in effect until further notice.
Final countervailing duty rates set
Commerce determined net countervailable subsidy rates for two Turkish aluminum-foil producers for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. will have a 2.65 percent ad valorem rate and Panda Aluminyum A.S. will have a 3.82 percent ad valorem rate. These rates are the final results published October 2, 2026.
CBP to assess duties on relevant entries
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess countervailing duties on appropriate entries of the subject aluminum foil in accordance with the final rates listed for Assan and Panda. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the Federal Register publication (October 2, 2026), and assessment may be deferred from liquidation if a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade within the 90-day statutory injunction period.
Non-reviewed Turkish firms keep prior deposit rates
For Turkish exporters that were not reviewed, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue collecting cash deposits at the most recent company-specific rate or the all-others rate, as appropriate. This continuation of existing deposit rates is effective upon publication (October 2, 2026) and remains in effect until further notice.
Trading companies' entries get producer's rate
Entries of subject merchandise exported by affiliated trading companies (Kibar Dis Ticaret A.S. for Assan; Seherli Danışmanlık A.Ş. for Panda) will receive the countervailing duty rate of the producer listed on the CBP entry form. Commerce did not assign separate subsidy rates to those affiliated trading companies.
