United States Keeps In Place Tariffs On Chinese Common Aluminum Alloy Sheet

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has announced it will keep in place existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from China. The ITC said revoking the duties “would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.”

The determination comes as the result of the five-year review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. Commissioners based their determination on an expedited review of the facts available, including the ITC’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by ITC staff in connection with the reviews, and information provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The ITC’s report on this matter will be available by Sept. 20, 2024 on the ITC’s website. Find more information about this case by clicking here.
