Aluminum Foil: Details of AD/CV Duty Orders
The Commerce Department Nov. 10 released antidumping duty orders on aluminum foil for Armenia, Brazil, Oman, Russia and Turkey (A-831-804, A-351-856, A-523-815, A-821-828, A-489-844), and countervailing duty orders on aluminum foil from Oman and Turkey (C-523-816, C-489-845). The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CV duties on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The orders detail a “gap period” of no CV duty liability for subject merchandise entered July 3, 2021, through Nov. 11, 2021, and of no AD duty liability for subject merchandise entered Oct. 31, 2021, through Nov. 11, 2021. Commerce may only suspend liquidation for a four-month period after its preliminary CV duty determination, issued March 5, 2021, and for six months after its preliminary AD duty determinations, issued May 4, 2021, without an International Trade Commission final affirmative injury determination in place. Commerce will order CBP to liquidate, without regard to AD or CV duties, any entries during these respective gap periods.
Subject merchandise entered during the CV duty gap period but outside the AD duty gap period (i.e., July 3, 2021, through Oct. 30, 2021) will only be assessed AD duties.
AD/CV Suspension of Liq Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after Nov. 12, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determinations are scheduled to be published.
