ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) 

the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be 

discussed. Issues raised in the hearing 

will be limited to those raised in the 

respective case briefs. An electronicallyfiled hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice. 

Assessment Rate 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.12 Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. The final 

results of this administrative review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise under review and for 

future deposits of estimated duties, 

where applicable. 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). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where an examined respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rate based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

U.S. sales for a given importer to the 

total entered value of those sales. Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by CBA for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.13

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

for estimated antidumping duties will 

be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of this review for 

all shipments of aluminum foil from 

Brazil entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication as provided by 

section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the companies under 

review will be the rate established in the 

final results of the review (except, if the 

rate is zero or de minimis, no cash 

deposit will be required); (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the 

original investigation but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recent period 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 13.93 percent,14 the all-others rate 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 this 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. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

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 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 the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

these results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: November 30, 2023.

SUMMARY: Based on a withdrawal of the

Henan Mingtai Aluminum Industry Co., 

Ltd. (Henan Mingtai) or Zhengzhou 

Mingtai Industry Co., Ltd. (Zhengzhou

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 6 and 8, 2019, 

respectively, Commerce published the 

CVD and AD orders on imports of CAAS 

from China.1 On May 23, 2023, the 

Aluminum Association Common Alloy 

Aluminum Sheet Trade Enforcement 

Working Group and its individual 

members (the domestic industry) 2 filed 

a circumvention inquiry request alleging 

that imports of CAAS produced in 

Korea by Gwangyang Aluminum, 

assembled or completed using flat rolled 

aluminum having a thickness greater 

than 6.3 mm (aluminum plate) 

produced by Henan Mingtai 3 in China, 

is circumventing the Orders.4 On July 

13, 2023, Commerce initiated a 

circumvention inquiry regarding the 

above-referenced merchandise.5 On 

November 2, 2023, the domestic 

industry withdrew its circumvention 

inquiry request.6

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders is common alloy aluminum 

sheet from China. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Orders, 

see the Initiation Checklist.7

Merchandise Subject to the 

Circumvention Inquiry 

The circumvention inquiry covers 

CAAS produced by Gwangyang 

Aluminum in Korea, assembled or 

completed using flat rolled aluminum 

having a thickness greater than 6.3 mm 

produced by Mingtai in China, and 

exported to the United States. 

Rescission of Circumvention Inquiry 

As noted above, the domestic industry 

has withdrawn its request for a 

circumvention inquiry on CAAS 

produced by Gwangyang Aluminum in 

Korea, assembled or completed using 

flat rolled aluminum having a thickness 

greater than 6.3 mm produced by 

Mingtai in China, and exported to the 

United States.8 Therefore, in accordance 

19 CFR 351.226(f)(6)(i), Commerce finds 

that it is appropriate to rescind this 

circumvention inquiry in its entirety. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(l)(1), 

Commerce notified U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) of the initiation 

of this circumvention inquiry and 

directed CBP to continue the suspension 

of liquidation of entries of products 

subject to the circumvention inquiry 

that were already subject to the 

suspension of liquidation under the 

Orders and to apply the cash deposit 

rate that would be applicable if the 

products were determined to be covered 

by the scope of the Orders.9 Upon 

publication of this rescission notice, 

Commerce will inform CBP that 

Commerce has rescinded this inquiry 

and that CBP should continue to 

suspend entries of common alloy 

aluminum sheet from China that are 

subject to the Orders at the applicable 

rate(s) in effect on the date of entry until 

specific liquidation instructions are 

issued. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under 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 the APO materials or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation, which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 781 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR 351.226(f)(6).
