The Commerce Department has issued a final determination in trade cases targeting aluminum extrusion imports from 14 countries, including China. The department imposed antidumping duties at rates ranging from 2.02% to 376.85% and countervailing duties at rates ranging from 1.44% to 168.81%.
“The Coalition of U.S. Aluminum Extruders and the United Steelworkers (USW) union have communicated that these final determinations are another key step toward remedying the injury caused by illegal dumping by foreign aluminum extrusion producers, many of whom have also benefited from unfair subsidies,” said Robert DeFrancesco, trade counsel for the petitioners and a partner in Wiley Rein LLP’s International Trade Practice. “The U.S. industry expects relief from these unfairly traded imports when the U.S. International Trade Commission issues its final ruling in November 2024.”
The Commerce Department release notes that while many foreign extruders will be subject to significant tariffs as a result of today’s determinations, petitioners also look forward to the final assessment rates calculated in the Commerce Department’s administrative review process a year from now. The tariff rates establish the cash deposit rates today; ultimately, the final tariff liability will be determined through the Commerce Department’s administrative review process. Therefore, these duties may increase at a later time, and U.S. importers will retroactively owe additional amounts of duties.
