U.S. Commerce Dept. confirms 14 countries guilty of dumping aluminium extrusions, levies up to 376.85% tariffs

The department reports that these countries are thumped by antidumping tariffs at rates ranging from 2.02 per cent to 376.85 per cent and countervailing duties ranging from 1.44 per cent to 168.81 per cent.

The investigation was initiated in October 2023 by the U.S. Aluminium Extruders Coalition (USAEC), comprising fourteen American extruders and the United Steelworkers Union (USW), based on the alleged dumping of aluminium extrusions in the US market at the direct expense of the US industry.

In early May, the United States Department of Commerce released a preliminary list of countries dumping aluminium extrusions comprising the same fourteen names. The Commerce Department also revealed the average dumping rates from those countries, such as China depositing 4.91–376.85 per cent, Colombia 8.85-34.47 per cent, Ecuador 17.23-51.20 per cent, India 3.44-39.05 per cent, Indonesia 5.66-112.21 per cent, Italy 15.3-41.67 per cent, Korea 2.42 per cent, Malaysia 26.7-27.51 per cent, Mexico 9.18-82.03 per cent, Taiwan 33.93-57.86 per cent, Thailand 2.02-4.04 per cent, Turkey 45.44-602.72 per cent, UAE 9.13-42.29 per cent, and Vietnam 2.85-41.84 per cent.
