1. Commerce does not automatically conduct administrative reviews of antidumping duty
orders. Instead, reviews must be requested pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213.
2. Commerce has not received a request for an administrative review of the antidumping duty
order for the period and on the merchandise identified below except for the firms listed in
paragraph 3. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c), you are to liquidate all entries
for all firms except those listed in paragraph 3 and assess antidumping duties on merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption at the cash deposit rate in effect on the
date of entry:
Product: Common alloy aluminum sheet
Period: 04/01/2024 through 03/31/2025
Country: India
Case number: A-533-895
3. Entries of merchandise of the firms listed below should not be liquidated until specific
instructions are issued. Continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of merchandise produced
and/or exported by the listed firms entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption
during the period 04/01/2024 through 03/31/2025:
Company: Hindalco Industries Limited
Case number: A-533-895-001
Company: Virgo Aluminum Limited
Case number: A-533-895-003
Company: Jindal Aluminum Limited
Case number: No case number was in place for this company during the period of review.
Entries may have been made under A-533-895-000 or other company-specific numbers.
CBP officers must also examine entries under A-533-895-000 and all existing company-specific
case numbers to ensure the continued suspension of liquidation of entries during the applicable
period of review for the producers and/or exporters listed above.
4. There are no injunctions applicable to the entries covered by this instruction.
5. Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise covered by
paragraph 2 occurred with the publication of the notice of initiation of administrative review for
the 04/2024 anniversary month (90 FR 21459, 05/20/2025). Unless instructed otherwise, for all
other shipments of common alloy aluminum sheet from India you shall continue to collect cash
deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
6. The assessment of antidumping duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is
subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778
requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the
required amounts deposited as estimated antidumping duties. The interest provisions are not
applicable to cash posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the
antidumping duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated
antidumping duties is required through the date of liquidation. The rate at which such interest is
payable is the rate in effect under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such
period.
7. Upon assessment of antidumping duties, CBP shall require that the importer provide a
reimbursement certification in accordance with 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) and as described under
this paragraph:
a. The importer must certify with CBP prior to liquidation (except as provided below) whether
the importer has or has not been reimbursed or entered into any agreement or understanding for
the payment or for the refunding to the importer by the manufacturer, producer, seller, or
exporter for all or any part of the antidumping and/or countervailing duties, as appropriate. Such
certification should identify the commodity and country and contain the information necessary to link the certification to the relevant entry or entry line number(s).
b. The certification may be filed either electronically or in paper in accordance with CBP's
requirements, as applicable.
c. If an importer does not provide its certification prior to liquidation, CBP may accept the
certification in accordance with its protest procedures under 19 U.S.C. 1514, unless otherwise
directed.
d. Certifications are required for entries of the relevant commodity that have been imported on
or after the date of publication of the antidumping notice in the Federal Register that first
suspended liquidation in that proceeding.
e. Consistent with 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3), if an importer fails to file the certification, Commerce
may presume that the importer was paid or reimbursed the antidumping or countervailing
duties. Therefore, if the importer does not provide the certification prior to liquidation (or as
provided above), reimbursement of the duties shall be presumed. Accordingly, if there is no
certification with respect to the antidumping duty, CBP shall increase the antidumping duty by
the amount of the antidumping duty. In addition, if there is no certification with respect to any
applicable countervailing duty, CBP shall increase the antidumping duty by the amount of the
countervailing duty. Further, if the importer certifies that it has an agreement with the
manufacturer, producer, seller, or exporter, to be reimbursed antidumping duties, CBP shall
increase the antidumping duty by the amount of the antidumping duty. In addition, if the
importer certifies that it has an agreement with the manufacturer, producer, seller, or exporter, to
be reimbursed any applicable countervailing duties, CBP shall increase the antidumping duty by
the amount of the countervailing duty.
8. This instruction to liquidate entries covered by this message does not limit CBP's independent
authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries
addressed by this message. Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message
directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued
suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce
and Protect Act under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended). If entries of subject
merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or
extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow
CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension,
and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries.

Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should
