Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued its preliminary affirmative determination on AD/CVD duties for imports of aluminum extrusions from 14 countries. These new AD/CVD cases significantly broadened the scope of the existing AD/CVD orders covering aluminum extrusions from China.
In a surprising turn of events, on October 30, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) made a final adverse determination regarding the antidumping and countervailing duty cases announced earlier this year on aluminum extrusions from China, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Türkiye, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. (News Release 24-106)
The ITC’s decision indicates that the U.S. aluminum extrusion industry is not materially harmed by the imported products referenced in these AD/CVD orders.
- Once the determination is published in the Federal Register, the AD/CVD cases against these countries will be terminated.
- All cash deposits (AD/CVD duties) related to the subject merchandise that was entered or withdrawn from the warehouse for consumption before the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register will be automatically refunded to importers.
- This announcement does not affect the pre-existing 2011 AD/CVD cases (A-570-967/C-570-968) on aluminum extrusions from China, which remain active. Importers continue to be required to pay AD/CVD cash deposits on entries subject to these Orders.
