Commerce Initiates Circumvention Inquiries on Aluminum Containers AD/CVD Orders vs. China via Thailand & Vietnam

The U.S. Department of Commerce is investigating whether disposable aluminum containers completed in Thailand and Vietnam using Chinese-origin aluminum foil are circumventing existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on such goods from China (cases A-570-170/C-570-171). The inquiry was initiated on petition from the Aluminum Foil Containers Manufacturers Association and eight domestic producers.
