USITC MAKES DETERMINATIONS IN FIVE-YEAR (SUNSET) REVIEWS CONCERNING ALUMINUM FOIL FROM CHINA

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revocation of the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum foil from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of this product from China will remain in place. 

Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, Randolph J. Stayin, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative. 

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.

The Commission’s public report Aluminum Foil from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-570 and 731-TA-1346 (First Review), USITC Publication 5459, September 2023) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.

The report will be available by October 20, 2023; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
