20See Memorandum to Gary Taverman, ‘‘China’s 

Status as a Non-Market Economy,’’ dated October 

26, 2017. 

Trade Commission (ITC) of our 

preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV. If our final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after our final determination 

whether these imports are materially 

injuring, or threaten material injury to, 

the U.S. industry. 

Determination of Non-Market Economy 

Status 

As part of this investigation, the 

Department initiated an inquiry into 

whether the PRC should continue to be 

treated as a nonmarket economy (NME) 

country under the antidumping and 

countervailing duty laws. The 

Department provided an opportunity for 

the public to comment and submit 

information with respect to the PRC on 

the six factors enumerated by section 

771(18)(B) of the Act, which the 

Department must take into account in 

making a market/nonmarket economy 

determination. The Department has 

completed its inquiry and concludes 

that the PRC is a NME country because 

it does not operate sufficiently on 

market principles to permit the use of 

prices and costs in that country for 

purposes of the Department’s 

antidumping analysis.20 Having already 

solicited and considered comments 

from the public, the Department will not 

revisit its analysis or consider further 

comments from interested parties on its 

conclusion that the PRC is a NME 

country in the final determination. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(I) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: October 26, 2017. 

Gary Taverman, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations, 

Performing the Non-Exclusive Functions and 

Duties of the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance.

Appendix II 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is aluminum foil having a 

thickness of 0.2 mm or less, in reels 

exceeding 25 pounds, regardless of width. 

Aluminum foil is made from an aluminum 

alloy that contains more than 92 percent 

aluminum. Aluminum foil may be made to 

ASTM specification ASTM B479, but can 

also be made to other specifications. 

Regardless of specification, however, all 

aluminum foil meeting the scope description 

is included in the scope. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation is aluminum foil that is backed 

with paper, paperboard, plastics, or similar 

backing materials on only one side of the 

aluminum foil, as well as etched capacitor 

foil and aluminum foil that is cut to shape. 

Where the nominal and actual 

measurements vary, a product is within the 

scope if application of either the nominal or 

actual measurement would place it within 

the scope based on the definitions set forth 

above. The products under investigation are 

currently classifiable under Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings 7607.11.3000, 7607.11.6000, 

7607.11.9030, 7607.11.9060, 7607.11.9090, 

and 760.19.6000. Further, merchandise that 

falls within the scope of this proceeding may 

also be entered into the United States under 

HTSUS subheadings 7606.11.3060, 

7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3045, 7606.12.3055, 

7606.12.3090, 7606.12.6000, 7606.91.3090, 

7606.91.6080, 7606.92.3090, and 

7606.92.6080. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this proceeding is 

dispositive.
