INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-570 and 731-TA-1346 (Final)]


Aluminum Foil From China

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of aluminum foil from China that have been found by 
the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United 
States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the 
government of China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 83 FR 9274 and 83 FR 9282 (March 5, 2018).

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective March 9, 2017, following receipt of a petition 
filed with the Commission and Commerce by The Aluminum Association 
Trade Enforcement Working Group and its individual members. The final 
phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
aluminum foil from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 
703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within the 
meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register on November 22, 2017 (82 FR 55633). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on February 8, 2018, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on April 9, 2018. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4771 (April 2018), entitled Aluminum 
Foil From China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-570 and 731-TA-1346 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
