review, we will assign an assessment
rate based on the review-specific rate,
calculated as noted in the ‘‘Rate for
Non-Individually Examined
Companies’’ section, above. The final
results of this review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping
duties on entries of merchandise
covered by the final results of this
review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.24
For the companies listed above for
which this review is being rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed on
entries at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP
for the rescinded companies no earlier
than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.25
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 deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication in the
Federal Register of the notice of final
results of administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for the companies listed
above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is less than 0.50 percent and,
therefore, de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently-completed segment of this
proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the original LTFV investigation, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate
established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 4.80 percent,26 the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.27
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is otherwise
extended, Commerce intends to issue
the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its
analysis of issues raised by interested
parties in the written comments, within
120 days after the date of publication of
these preliminary results in the Federal
Register.28

Background
khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
On November 12, 2021, Commerce
published the antidumping duty (AD)
order on aluminum foil from Brazil.1 On
November 2, 2023, Commerce published
in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the Order.2 On December 29,
2023, based on timely requests for
review,3 in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated 4 an
administrative review of the Order with
respect to CBA Itapissuma Ltda. (CBA
Itapissuma) and Companhia Brasileira
de Alumı́nio (CBA Alumı́nio),
(collectively, CBA).5
On July 17, 2024, we extended the
deadline for the preliminary results
until no later than November 21, 2024.6
On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled
certain deadlines in this administrative
proceeding by seven days.7 On October

Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended,
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
issues raised in written briefs, no later
than 120 days after publication of this
notice in the Federal Register, pursuant
to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results of
this administrative review, pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act,
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.16
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
where an examined respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), we will calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment
rate based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
U.S. sales for a given importer to the
total entered value of those sales. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by CBA for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.17
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review
and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.18 Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
regarding the individually examined
respondents 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

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit
rate for the companies under review
will be the rate established in the final
results of the review (except, if the rate
is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit
will be required); (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 13.93 percent,19 the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections

Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of issues raised in written briefs, no later than 120 days
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative review,
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, Commerce will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where an examined respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent), we will calculate an importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rate based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the U.S. sales for a given importer to the total entered
value of those sales. Where either the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by CBA
for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise
under review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.\18\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions
regarding the individually examined respondents 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
this administrative review for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1)
the cash deposit rate for the companies under review will be the rate
established in the final results of the review (except, if the rate is
zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will be required); (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be
13.93 percent,\19\ the all-others rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Order, 86 FR 62791.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: December 6, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
