Preliminary Results of Antidumping Review on Aluminum Sheet Imports from Türkiye
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has revealed preliminary findings in its recent administrative review concerning antidumping duties on common alloy aluminum sheet imports from the Republic of Türkiye. The review, which focuses on the period from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, has found that some producers/exporters sold aluminum sheets in the U.S. at prices below normal value.
Background and Details:
The antidumping duty order on aluminum sheets from Türkiye was first announced in April 2021. This current review began following an opportunity notice published on April 1, 2025, which allowed interested parties to request an administrative review of the order. Subsequently, the Department of Commerce initiated the review for five producers/exporters from Türkiye.
Due to a lapse in government appropriations and subsequent backlog in document processing, there were several extensions to the review deadline. The current deadline for preliminary results was set to July 7, 2026.
The review focused on two key companies: Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. The Department preliminarily determined that Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. had a weighted-average dumping margin of 26.45 percent. Conversely, Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. received a margin of 0.00 percent, indicating no dumping within the reviewed period.
Additionally, ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., a non-examined company, was preliminarily assigned Teknik’s calculated rate of 26.45 percent.
Public Involvement:
The Department invites public comments on these preliminary results. Interested parties have a specific time frame to submit their written comments and may file rebuttal briefs limited to issues raised in the initial briefs. Furthermore, parties can request a hearing to discuss their concerns in consideration of the final review results.
Future Steps and Impact:
The final results of this administrative review are anticipated to be published within 120 days after the notice, impacting future cash deposit requirements for aluminum sheet imports from Türkiye.
The Department of Commerce’s findings will guide the assessment of antidumping duties on the subject merchandise entries and dictate the direction for future deposits of estimated duties.
This step underscores the ongoing commitment of the U.S. Department of Commerce to enforce trade laws and ensure fair competition by addressing and mitigating the effects of unfair pricing practices in the U.S. trading system.
