• Effective Date: Apr 26, 2024
1. On 04/26/2024, Commerce issued a final scope ruling that aluminum capacitor foil is covered by the scope of the antidumping/countervailing duty orders on aluminum foil from the People's Republic of China (A-570-053/C-570-054). 2. Specifically, Commerce determined that aluminum capacitor foil is covered by the scope of the orders because it has all the physical characteristics of subject merchandise and does not constitute any of the merchandise specifically excluded from the orders. 3. This final scope ruling is applicable on a country-wide basis, regardless of foreign producer, exporter, or importer. 4a. Continue to suspend liquidation of entries of aluminum capacitor foil already subject to the suspension of liquidation under the antidumping/countervailing duty orders on aluminum foil from the People's Republic of China at the cash deposit rates in effect on the date of entry in accordance with message 3248403, dated 09/05/2023. 4b. For all entries of aluminum capacitor foil not already subject to the suspension of liquidation, CBP should suspend liquidation of: (i) shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 07/03/2023, and (ii) shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption prior to the date of initiation of the scope inquiry but no earlier than November 4, 2021. CBP shall require, for such entries, a cash deposit at the applicable rates in effect on the date of entry. 5. Entries of products covered by paragraph 4 should not be liquidated until specific liquidation instructions are issued. 6. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(5), this instruction does not affect or otherwise limit CBP's independent authority to take any additional action with respect to the suspension of liquidation or related measures. 7.
