United States Issues Preliminary Findings In Aluminum Extrusions Case

The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued preliminary findings in antidumping duty (ADD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations regarding aluminum extrusions imported from 14 countries, including China and Mexico.

As experts at the law firm Husch Blackwell explained, the affirmative preliminary dumping margins range from zero percent for an individual exporter in Italy to rates that exceed 600 percent for an exporter in Turkey. The penalties went into effect May 7, 2024.

In its decision, the department noted that it examined a wide range of products, including components, subassemblies, and various finished products. It also outlined several exclusions that were based on technical specifications, including a distinct list of items applicable only if they are manufactured in China.

The Commerce Department is expected to issue its final determination in this matter around July 15, 2024, but that date could be extended until late September, Husch Blackwell said. After that, if the International Trade Commission makes an affirmative final determination of injury, antidumping and countervailing duty orders will be issued.
