FPA Sends Coalition Letter to Secretary Wang Regarding Concern for the DOC’s Self-initiated Circumvention Case on Aluminum Foil Imports from South Korea and Thailand

As you are aware, the Department of Commerce (DOC) self-initiated a circumvention case on aluminum foil imports from South Korea and Thailand. We are writing to convey the serious concerns our member companies have about this action. Namely, duties being placed on aluminum foil from these countries will result in the loss of U.S. jobs, as offshore packaging manufacturers will not be subjected to the higher costs; the increase of prices to consumers for products and services they use every day at a time of unprecedented inflation; and the scarcity of these products given an extraordinarily constrained supply chain, as more and more of these products will be produced outside of the U.S.
