China Disposable Aluminum Containers: Details of AD/CVD Duty Orders
The Commerce Department recently issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on isposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from China (A-570-170/C-570-171). The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CVD on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The order details a “gap period” of no CVD liability for subject merchandise entered Feb. 25, 2024, through April 30, 2025, the day prior to the publication date of ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register, and of no AD liability for subject merchandise entered April 29-30, 2025. Commerce may suspend liquidation for a four-month period only after its preliminary CVD determination, issued Oct. 28, 2024, and for six months after its preliminary AD determination, issued Dec. 30, 2024, without an International Trade Commission final affirmative injury determination in place. Commerce will order CBP to liquidate, without regard to AD or CVD, any entries during these respective gap periods.
Subject merchandise entered during the CVD gap period but outside the AD gap period (i.e., Feb. 25 through April 28) will only be assessed AD.
In its final injury determination, the International Trade Commission made a negative "critical circumstances" determination on imports of disposable aluminum containers from China. As a result, Commerce will instruct CBP to lift suspension of liquidation and to refund any AD cash deposits collected on entries prior to Dec. 30, 2024, and any CVD cash deposits collected on entries prior to Oct. 28, 2024.
AD/CV Suspension of Liq Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after May 1, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published.
