Commerce is self-initiating a circumvention inquiry to determine whether certain aluminum composite panels (ACPs) produced in China by Shanghai Alumetal Decorative Material Co. (Alumetal) are circumventing the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from China. The inquiry applies as of October 2, 2026. The AD order is at 84 FR 2813 and the CVD order at 84 FR 2157.
The USITC instituted five-year reviews on October 1, 2026, to determine whether revocation of the countervailing duty orders on aluminum foil from Oman and Turkey and the antidumping duty orders on aluminum foil from Armenia, Brazil, Oman, Russia and Turkey would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. Interested parties must respond to the notice by November 2, 2026, to be assured of consideration, and comments on the adequacy of responses may be filed by December 8, 2026.
Commerce issued the final results of changed circumstances reviews and revoked, in part, the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from China, Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan and Türkiye, applicable September 24, 2026. The partial revocation covers certain aluminum can stock, and Commerce clarified the scope to include temper H-39 in the modified aluminum can stock exclusion language.
Why it matters: Entries of certain aluminum can stock from the 17 listed countries are no longer subject to the AD/CVD orders as of September 24, 2026, and the scope now expressly includes temper H-39.
Commerce determines in the final results of its countervailing duty administrative review that countervailable subsidies were provided to Oman Aluminium Rolling Company SPC (OARC), a producer and exporter of certain aluminum foil from the Sultanate of Oman, during the period of review January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. The final results are applicable September 15, 2026, and follow the preliminary results published at 91 FR 27017. Commerce found OARC cross-owned with Sohar Paper Cores LLC, Takamul Investment Company LLC, and OQ SAOC. The notice does not state the cash deposit rates.
