Federal Register: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Review on Aluminum Sheet from Türkiye

Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

Background Information:

The review period was from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The review was delayed for several reasons, including a government shutdown and backlog issues. Despite these challenges, the final results have now been published.

Key Changes and Findings:

The Department has revised the subsidy calculations for two main Turkish companies: Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. The revisions were based on feedback from interested parties and a closer examination of the information on record.

Subsidy Rates:

  • Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and its affiliated companies now have a subsidy rate of 4.28%.
  • Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. has a de minimis (very small amount) subsidy rate of 0.33%.
  • Other companies not specifically reviewed will also have a subsidy rate of 4.28%.

Methodology Explanation:

The Department used the rates found during the examination of Assan and Teknik. They excluded zero or minimal rates from their overall calculations to determine subsidy rates for other companies.

Cash Deposit and Assessment Information:

The Commerce Department will instruct the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits based on the new rates for future imports of the aluminum sheets. Due to Teknik’s low subsidy rate, they will not require a cash deposit rate. These instructions will take effect as soon as this notice is published.

If you have any items under administrative protective order, there is a reminder to return or destroy these materials promptly, keeping in line with the prescribed regulations.

These results are an integral part of maintaining fair trading practices and are aimed at ensuring fair competition between U.S. industries and international exporters.
