The agency also found that aluminum foil from Turkey (A-489-844) is not being dumped, in a preliminary negative antidumping duty determination, and will not impose AD duty cash deposit requirements for imports from Turkey at this time. Commerce may still impose AD duties in the final determination. Aluminum foil from Turkey is subject to suspension of liquidation for countervailing duty purposes, as announced March 5 in Commerce's preliminary CV duty determination (see 2103040023). Aluminum foil from Oman is also already subject to suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements as of March 5.
​AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for AD duty purposes for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 4 (liquidation is already suspended for CV duty purposes for Oman and Turkey), and require AD duty cash deposits as follows:
