It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Notice of change in cash deposit instructions for the preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of certain aluminum foil from the People's Republic of China (A-570-053)". It links to 2 AD/CVD cases in Tandom's catalog.

1. On 11/02/2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register (82 FR 50858) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping duty investigation of certain aluminum foil from the People's Republic of China (see message number 7312302, dated 11/08/2017). The cash deposit rates in that message were adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of this merchandise (C-570-054). 2.

Therefore, effective 12/12/2017 (the day after provisional measures expired in the companion CVD proceeding), CBP should collect the full cash deposit rate calculated in the antidumping duty proceeding, as identified in the paragraph below. 3. Accordingly, for shipments of subject merchandise from the producer/exporter combinations listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 12/12/2017 (the day after provisional measures expired in the companion CVD investigation), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins: Exporter: Jiangsu Dingsheng New Materials Joint-Stock Co., Ltd.
