U.S. Department of Commerce Releases Final Results on Aluminum Sheet Imports from Türkiye

Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

Background

The United States Department of Commerce has concluded its review on the import of common alloy aluminum sheets from Türkiye. The final decision confirms that these aluminum sheets were sold in the U.S. at prices less than their normal value during the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

The Commerce Department started this review after publishing initial findings on August 8, 2025. These initial findings suggested that aluminum sheets from Türkiye were being sold at unfair prices. Due to unforeseen delays, including a government shutdown, the final results were extended several times. The deadline for these results was April 6, 2026.

Key Findings

Commerce looked closely at the prices and trade practices during the review period. The review specifically examined companies like Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. The final results showed that Assan had a dumping margin of 4.01% while Teknik had a margin of 14.19%. A non-examined company, ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., received a margin of 9.10%.

Changes and Analysis

After the preliminary results, some changes were made. The review process included feedback from interested parties, which led to adjustments in the calculated margins for the companies under review. The changes were based on the analysis of sales and cost information.

Next Steps

Now that the final results are published, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will collect duties on the aluminum sheets imported from Türkiye. These duties will match the final rates determined by the Commerce Department. Assan and Teknik will have to pay the specified percentages on their imports to the U.S. If the calculated rate is less than 0.5%, the company may not need to pay any duties.

Companies that were not examined in detail but are part of this review will also face duties based on the rates outlined. CBP will start collecting these duties but must wait at least 35 days after these results have been made public, to give time for any legal actions.

Protective Orders and Importers’ Responsibility

Importers need to comply with specific rules regarding the handling of sensitive information related to this review. The deadline for handling proprietary information in accordance with Administrative Protective Orders is still in effect.

Conclusion

This notice serves as a reminder of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s commitment to ensuring fair trade practices. The final results offer guidance to importers and exporters on how to comply with U.S. trade regulations related to aluminum sheets from Türkiye.
