the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 0.00 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the LTFV investigation, 

adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in 

the companion countervailing duty 

investigation.12 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final 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 the 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 Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under the APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is being 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)(5).

5This reflects the net countervailable ad valorem

6 In the first administrative review of the Order, 

Commerce found the following companies to be 

cross-owned: Anhui Maximum Aluminium 

Industries Company Ltd.; Jiangsu Huafeng 

Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Zhongji 

Lamination Materials Co., Ltd. (f/k/a Jiangsu 

Zhongji Lamination Materials Stock Co., Ltd.); 

Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., (HK) 

Ltd.; Shantou Wanshun Package Material Stock Co., 

Ltd.; and Anhui Maximum Aluminium Industries 

Company Ltd. The subsidy rate applies to all crossowned companies. See Certain Aluminum Foil from 

the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of the 

Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2017– 

2018, 86 FR 12171 (March 2, 2021). While the 

petitioners (i.e., the Aluminum Association Trade 

Enforcement Working Group and its individual 

members: JW Aluminum Company, Novelis 

Corporation, and Reynolds Consumer Products, 

LLC) withdrew their review requests for Anhui 

Maximum Aluminium Industries Company Ltd., 

Jiangsu Huafeng Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd., and 

Shantou Wanshun Package Material Stock Co., Ltd., 

because these companies were previously found to 

be cross-owned with a company which is subject 

to this review, we have not rescinded the review 

with respect to these companies.

rate reflects an EVA. See Issues and Decision 

Memorandum at 4.

countervailable subsidy rate without the entered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 4, 2023, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results of this 

administrative review in the Federal 

Register.1 For a complete description of 

the events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Order 3

The product covered by the scope of 

the Order is aluminum foil from China. 

A full description of the scope of the 

Order is contained in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by the interested 

parties in their case and rebuttal briefs 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of topics discussed 

in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is provided in the 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of comments 

from interested parties and the evidence 

on the record, we revised the 

calculation of the net countervailable 

subsidy rates for Jiangsu Zhongji 

Lamination Materials Co., Ltd. (f/k/a 

Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials 

Stock Co., Ltd.) (Zhongji). For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be countervailable, we find that there is 

a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.4 For a complete 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, including our reliance, in 

part, on facts otherwise available, 

including adverse facts available, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(e)(2) of the 

Act. However, Commerce normally 

determines the rates for non-selected 

companies in reviews in a manner that 

is consistent with section 705(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides the basis for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of 

the Act instructs Commerce, as a general 

rule, to calculate the all-others rate 

equal to the weighted average of the 

countervailable subsidy rates 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis countervailable 

subsidy rates, and any rates determined 

entirely on the basis of facts available. 

There are 10 companies for which a 

review was requested and not 

rescinded, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents or found to 

be cross-owned with Zhongji, the 

mandatory respondent. For these nonselected companies, because the rate 

calculated for the only participating 

mandatory respondent in this review, 

Zhongji, was above de minimis and not 

based entirely on facts available, we are 

applying Zhongji’s subsidy rate to the 

10 non-selected companies. 

This is the same methodology 

Commerce applied in the Preliminary 

Results for determining a rate for 

companies not selected for individual 

examination. However, due to changes 

in the calculation for Zhongji, we 

revised the non-selected rate 

accordingly. Consequently, for the 10 

non-selected companies for which a 

review was requested and not 

rescinded, we are applying an ad 

valorem subsidy rate of 25.32 percent.5

Final Results of Review 

We determine the following net 

countervailable subsidy rates exist for 

the period January 1, 2021, through 

December 31, 2021:

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review, for the 

above-listed companies at the applicable 

ad valorem assessment rates listed. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after 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). 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order, 

is hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation.
