SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In the Preliminary Determinations, Commerce established a
certification program and a deadline for certain exporters and
importers to certify that entries of certain aluminum foil exported
from Korea or Thailand that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after July 18, 2022 (the date of initiation of
these circumvention inquiries), through the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determinations (i.e., March 22, 2023), are not subject to
the suspension of liquidation or the collection of cash deposits based
on the inputs used to manufacture such merchandise.\1\ The original
deadline for exporters and importers to complete these certifications
was 45 days after the publication of the Preliminary Determinations,
i.e., May 6, 2023. On March 28, 2023, Commerce published the
Preliminary Correction in the Federal Register.\2\ On May 3, 2023,
[[Page 41596]]
Commerce issued a memorandum via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (i.e., ACCESS) notifying interested parties that Commerce was
extending the deadline to submit certifications for entries of certain
aluminum foil exported from Korea or Thailand that was entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 18, 2022,
through March 22, 2023, by 75 days, for a total of 120 days after the
date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations.\3\

Aluminum Foil from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary
Affirmative Determinations of Circumvention with Respect to the
Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of Thailand, 88 FR 17177 (March
22, 2023) (Preliminary Determinations).
\2\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Certain
Aluminum Foil from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary
Affirmative Determinations of Circumvention With Respect to the
Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of Thailand; Correction, 88 FR
18297 (March 28, 2023) (Preliminary Correction). The Preliminary
Correction identified the proper AD and CVD cash deposit rates,
which the Preliminary Determinations had misstated.
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Circumvention Inquiries on Aluminum Foil
from the People's Republic of China--Republic of Korea and Kingdom
of Thailand: Extension of Deadline to Certify Certain Entries of
Aluminum Foil,'' dated May 3, 2023. This memorandum inadvertently
stated the relevant entry date as July 17, 2022; however, July 18,
2022 is the correct date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extension
With this notice, we notify the public that, for all aluminum foil
from Korea and Thailand that was entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption during the period July 18, 2022 (the date of initiation
of these circumvention inquiries), through March 22, 2023 (the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations in the Federal Register),
where the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which
liquidation has not become final), the relevant certification should be
completed and signed as soon as practicable, but not later than 120
days after the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations in
the Federal Register, i.e., no later than July 20, 2023. For such
entries, importers, and exporters each have the option to complete a
blanket certification covering multiple entries, individual
certifications for each entry, or a combination thereof. The exporter
must provide the importer with a copy of the exporter certification
within 120 days of the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determinations in the Federal Register.
On June 15, 2023, Commerce posted instructions to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) notifying CBP of the extended deadline.\4\ We
note that Sankyu Thai Co., Ltd., the single company which Commerce
precluded from participating in this certification program in the
Preliminary Determinations, is still precluded from participating in
the certification program we established for applicable exports of
aluminum foil from Thailand.\5\
