1. On 02/10/2025, Commerce initiated a circumvention inquiry to determine whether disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids (aluminum containers), completed in the United Arab Emirates, using aluminum foil manufactured in the People's Republic of China (China), are covered by the scope of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on aluminum containers from China (A-570-170; C-570-171). See 91 FR 5908. 2. Continue to suspend liquidation of entries of aluminum containers completed in the United Arab Emirates using Chinese-origin aluminum foil that are subsequently exported from the United Arab Emirates to the United States, that are already subject to the suspension of liquidation under the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum containers from China at the cash deposit rates in effect on the date of entry. Such entries should not be liquidated until specific liquidation instructions are issued. 3. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(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. 4.
