The Department of Trade Defense ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) said that on July 11 (US time), the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the initiation of an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tax evasion investigation into disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids imported from Vietnam and Thailand.
In this case, the plaintiff, the Aluminum Can Manufacturers Association (AFCMA), accused Vietnam and Thailand of importing aluminum foil from China - the main raw material for manufacturing disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays and lids (HS codes 7615.10.7125, 7612.90.1090, 7615.10.3015, 7615.10.3025, 7615.10.7130, 7615.10.7155, 7615.10.7180, 7615.10.9100 and 8309.90.0000), then finishing and exporting to the United States to evade anti-dumping and anti-subsidy taxes that the United States is applying to China.
To date, DOC has not selected a mandatory respondent for the case but expects to select a respondent based on data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
According to US law, within 150 days from the date of initiation (expected December 4, 2025), the US is expected to issue a preliminary conclusion and within 300 days from the date of initiation (expected May 4, 2026), the DOC will issue a final conclusion of the case.
This period may be extended but the total period will normally not exceed 365 days (July 7, 2026).
To ensure their legitimate interests, the Trade Defense Department recommends that enterprises producing and exporting the above products review their export activities of investigated products to the United States; study and learn about the regulations and procedures for anti-tax evasion investigations of the United States; properly and fully implement the requirements of the US investigation agency, and closely coordinate with the Trade Defense Department throughout the course of the case.
