Commerce Finalizes Circumvention Finding for Aluminum Foil From South Korea, Thailand
Aluminum foil made in South Korea and Thailand using Chinese-origin aluminum foil or sheet is circumventing antidumping and countervailing duties on aluminum foil from China (A-570-053/C-570-054), the Commerce Department said in the final determination of an anti-circumvention inquiry Nov. 27.

The agency said suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements will continue in effect country-wide for all aluminum foil from South Korea and Thailand made from Chinese inputs that were entered on or after July 18, 2022, the date that Commerce began the anti-circumvention inquiry.
The agency will also continue a certification process for aluminum foil from South Korea and Thailand that does not use Chinese inputs and is exempt from the circumvention finding. Importers and exporters will have to certify that their aluminum foil “was not manufactured using aluminum foil and/or sheet produced" in China, "regardless of whether sourced directly from a Chinese producer or from a downstream supplier” to avoid AD/CVD.
Commerce continued to find Sankyu Thai Co., Ltd., did not fully cooperate with the review and is not eligible for the certification process, Commerce said.
