As an update on the anti-dumping case against China, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has primarily determined that certain aluminium foils imported unfairly from the People’s Republic of China are harming U.S. producers. This indicates further proceeding of the antidumping and countervailing duty cases against Chinese imports by the Department of Commerce.

The preliminary countervailing duty determination by the Commerce Department is due to be completed on June 2, 2017, and the preliminary antidumping duty determination is due to be completed on August 16, 2017. The Aluminum Association Trade Enforcement Working Group filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions with the ITC and U.S. Department of Commerce on March 9, 2017.

The Association has applauded the determination and commenting on the development, Heidi Brock, the Aluminum Association’s President & CEO said,  

“The Aluminum Association and its members are encouraged by today’s unanimous preliminary finding by the U.S. International Trade Commission that imports of aluminum foil from China are a cause of injury to the domestic industry.”

“Domestic aluminum foil producers have suffered extensive injury by unfairly traded imports from China for many years, and are pursuing these actions to bring about a return of fair pricing to the U.S. market that will allow them to make investments to further strengthen their competitiveness,” she added.

“This affirmative decision is an important first step in remedying the devastating injury that the flood of unfairly-traded imports of aluminum foil from China have had on the domestic industry,” said John Herrmann, of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, counsel to the petitioners.
