Commerce Department Announces Final Results on Aluminum Sheet Subsidy Review

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

The U.S. Department of Commerce recently announced the final results of its first expedited sunset reviews of countervailing duty (CVD) orders on common alloy aluminum sheets from Bahrain, India, and the Republic of Türkiye. This decision reveals that getting rid of the CVD orders would likely lead to the continuation or repetition of subsidies that are not fair.

The original CVD orders were issued on April 27, 2021. In March 2026, Commerce began the first sunset review process following the Tariff Act of 1930. Only domestic parties like the Aluminum Association Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet Trade Enforcement Working Group and Aluminum Dynamics, LLC, showed interest in the review. The governments of Bahrain, India, and Türkiye did not participate.

The review’s purpose was to decide if continued CVD orders protected U.S. industries from unfair subsidies. Commerce found that removing the orders could lead to more unfair subsidies.

Here are the subsidy rates:

  • Bahrain:
    • Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C: 6.44%
    • All Others: 6.44%
  • India:
    • Hindalco Industries Limited: 35.67%
    • Manaksia Aluminium Company Limited: 5.70%
    • All Others: 30.77%
  • Türkiye:
    • Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S: 6.28%
    • Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S: 4.94%
    • All Others: 7.59%

The document states this as the last reminder for parties involved to handle proprietary information carefully according to administrative protective orders. Violating these regulations can lead to penalties.

The Commerce Department published these results according to legal directives under the Tariff Act of 1930. They are part of consistent efforts to maintain fair trade practices for U.S. industries.

The final results are dated June 30, 2026, and the details were presented by Scot Fullerton, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations. These efforts are important to support U.S. industries and maintain a fair trade environment worldwide.
