Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
the comment received from interested
parties, we made no changes to the
Preliminary Results.
Final Determination of No Shipments
Commerce preliminarily found that
24 exporters had not shipped subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR.5 As noted in the Preliminary
Results, we received no-shipment
certifications from these exporters, and
their statements were consistent with
the information we received from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).6
Although we received comments from
the petitioner 7 on our preliminary noshipment findings with respect to these
24 companies, we find that these
comments provide no basis to change
our preliminary findings. Therefore, for
these final results, we continue to find
that these 24 exporters had no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.

we find all other companies for which
a review was requested, including
Yuantai, to be part of the China-wide
entity. Accordingly, the companies
listed in Appendix I are part of the
China-wide entity.
Because no party requested a review
of the China-wide entity, and Commerce
no longer considers the China-wide
entity as an exporter conditionally
subject to administrative reviews, we
did not conduct a review of the Chinawide entity. The rate previously
established for the China-wide entity is
183.36 percent and is not subject to
change as a result of this review.8
Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any
assessment rates in this administrative
review. Based on record evidence, we
have determined that the
aforementioned 24 exporters had no
shipments of subject merchandise, and,
therefore, pursuant to Commerce’s
assessment practice, any suspended
entries entered under their case
numbers will be liquidated at the Chinawide entity rate.9
For all remaining companies subject
to this review, which are part of the
China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate their entries at the current
rate for the China-wide entity (i.e.,
183.36 percent). Commerce intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
review for shipments of subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Act: (1) For previouslyinvestigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters that received a
separate rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, and which were not
assigned the China-wide rate in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporter8 See
Order.

specific rate published for the most
recently-completed period; (2) for all
Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate
(including the companies listed in
Appendix I), the cash deposit rate will
be that for the China-wide entity (i.e.,
183.36 percent); and (3) for all nonChinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the Chinese
exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
315.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Timely written notification of the return
or destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,
is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h).

Background
In accordance with section 705(d) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), on September 23, 2021, Commerce
published its affirmative final
determinations that countervailable
subsidies are being provided to
producers and exporters of aluminum
foil from Oman and Turkey.1 On
November 5, 2021, the ITC notified
Commerce of its affirmative final
determinations that an industry in the
United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of
subsidized imports of aluminum foil
from Oman and Turkey.2
The products covered by these orders
are aluminum foil from Oman and

Countervailing Duty Orders
On November 5, 2021, in accordance
with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d)
of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce
of its final determinations in these
investigations, in which it found that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of
subsidized imports of aluminum foil
from Oman and Turkey.3 Therefore, in
accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the
Act, Commerce is issuing these
countervailing duty orders. Because the
ITC determined that imports of
aluminum foil from Oman and Turkey
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Oman and Turkey,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, are subject to the
assessment of countervailing duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by Commerce, countervailing duties for
all relevant entries of aluminum foil
from Oman and Turkey. With the
exception of entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before the publication of the
ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations, as further described
below, countervailing duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of
aluminum foil from Oman and Turkey
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after March 5,
2021, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determinations.4
Suspension of Liquidation and Cash
Deposits
In accordance with section 706 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
reinstitute the suspension of liquidation
of aluminum foil from Oman and
Turkey, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination in the Federal
Register, and to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, pursuant to
section 706(a)(1) of the Act,
countervailing duties for each entry of
the subject merchandise in an amount
based on the net countervailable
subsidy rates below. On or after the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although we received comments from the petitioner \7\ on our
preliminary no-shipment findings with respect to these 24 companies, we
find that these comments provide no basis to change our preliminary
findings. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that
these 24 exporters had no shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The petitioner is the Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood
Plywood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
With the exception of the aforementioned 24 exporters that
submitted no-shipment certifications, we find all other companies for
which a review was requested, including Yuantai, to be part of the
China-wide entity. Accordingly, the companies listed in Appendix I are
part of the China-wide entity.
Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and
Commerce no longer considers the China-wide entity as an exporter
conditionally subject to administrative reviews, we did not conduct a
review of the China-wide entity. The rate previously established for
the China-wide entity is 183.36 percent and is not subject to change as
a result of this review.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any assessment rates in this administrative
review. Based on record evidence, we have determined that the
aforementioned 24 exporters had no shipments of subject merchandise,
and, therefore, pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice, any
suspended entries entered under their case numbers will be liquidated
at the China-wide entity rate.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For all remaining companies subject to this review, which are part
of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to liquidate their
entries at the current rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 183.36
percent). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results
of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at
the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously-investigated or
reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, and which were not assigned
the China-wide rate in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most
recently-completed period; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate
(including the companies listed in Appendix I), the cash deposit rate
will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 183.36 percent); and (3)
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain
in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 315.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure
to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: November 5, 2021.
