Effective/entry-specific deposit and liquidation treatment depends on Commerce and CBP instructions, not only the publication date.

Common alloy aluminum sheet from China may fall within the scope of two U.S. Department of Commerce orders: an antidumping (AD) order under case A-570-073 and a countervailing duty (CVD) order under case C-570-074. Because both orders exist, importers should recognize that both AD and CVD cash deposits may apply, and should verify scope, origin, and rates before entry.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•Flat-rolled aluminum sheet with thickness of 6.3 mm or less but greater than 0.2 mm, in coils or cut-to-length, regardless of width (may include)
•Not-clad aluminum sheet made from 1XXX-, 3XXX-, or 5XXX-series alloys (may include)
•Multi-alloy clad aluminum sheet produced from a 3XXX-series core with cladding on one or both sides (may include)
•Common alloy sheet made to ASTM specification B209-14 or to other specifications (may include)
•Common alloy sheet further processed in a third country by annealing, tempering, painting, or slitting where such processing would not remove it from scope (may include)
•Painted or varnished common alloy aluminum sheet (may include)
•Trimmed, cut, punched, or slit common alloy sheet meeting the dimensional and alloy criteria (may include)

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Aluminum can stock suitable for making beverage cans, lids, or tabs (commonly excluded)
?Can stock produced to gauges roughly 0.200 mm to 0.292 mm with H-19, H-41, H-48, or H-391 temper and lubricant applied (commonly outside scope)
?Aluminum sheet thicker than 6.3 mm (may be outside this scope)
?Aluminum foil or products 0.2 mm or thinner (may be outside this scope)
?Aluminum plate, extrusions, or products not meeting the flat-rolled sheet definition (may be outside scope)

Scope control: HTSUS subheadings are provided for screening and customs convenience only; Commerce's written scope language is dispositive, and further-processed, cut, or third-country-finished material may still be covered depending on the scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of flat-rolled aluminum common alloy sheet (1XXX/3XXX/5XXX not-clad or 3XXX-core clad) sourced from or manufactured in China, including material that was finished or processed in a third country before U.S. entry.

What the duty means

AD and CVD amounts are collected as cash deposits at the time of entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and by administrative review and can be substantial. Because both an AD (A-570-073) and a CVD (C-570-074) order exist, both types of deposits may apply. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and the entry must be declared as subject merchandise.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with a detailed product description including alloy series and temper.
☐Collect product photos, mill certificates, and spec sheets showing thickness, form (coil or cut-to-length), and cladding.
☐Confirm material composition against the 1XXX/3XXX/5XXX (not-clad) or 3XXX-core clad criteria in the scope.
☐Verify the thickness falls within the 0.2 mm to 6.3 mm range and document intended use.
☐Document country-of-origin support, including any third-country processing history such as annealing, painting, or slitting.
☐Identify the manufacturer, producer, and exporter names and the specific producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the HTSUS classification for screening, recognizing the written scope controls.
☐Confirm scope applicability with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel, and do not rely only on supplier statements.
☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings for goods routed or lightly processed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin.
⚠Scope inquiries where product form, alloy, or processing status is uncertain.
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and therefore the wrong cash-deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration penalties, retroactive duties, and interest for failing to declare subject merchandise.

The same product is subject to U.S. orders from several other countries as well — including Bahrain, Brazil, Germany, Egypt, Spain, Croatia, Indonesia, India, Italy, and Oman — so importers should independently check each origin rather than assume a switch of source avoids review.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on common alloy aluminum sheet from China?

There is a U.S. antidumping order on common alloy aluminum sheet from China under case A-570-073, and a separate countervailing duty order under case C-570-074. Whether your specific product is covered depends on Commerce's written scope, so importers should verify before entry.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. If the merchandise falls within the scope, the order still applies, the entry must be declared as subject merchandise, and rates can change through administrative reviews.

Are parts or further-processed aluminum sheet covered?

Sheet that has been further processed — such as annealed, tempered, painted, trimmed, cut, punched, or slit, including in a third country — may still be covered depending on Commerce's scope. Importers should confirm with a licensed broker or trade counsel.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are flat-rolled common alloy aluminum sheet (1XXX/3XXX/5XXX or 3XXX-core clad, 0.2–6.3 mm) of Chinese origin; separate review needed for can stock, thicker plate, foil, parts, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Common alloy aluminum sheet from China may be covered by both A-570-073 (AD) and C-570-074 (CVD); confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.

Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
