Aluminium plants in NY hurt by 'predatory' China trade practices: Charles Schumer, U.S. Senator

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

According to a latest media update, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer pressed the International Trade Commission to take action against the alleged wrong trade practises by foreign metal producers especially China.  He is concerned about the "predatory" trade practices damaging the business interest of domestic producers.

In a testimony submitted to the Trade Commission on behalf of aluminium producers from New York, Schumer, D-NY, said Chinese producers are actually shipping aluminium through third-party countries to US. This is practised to distort facts so that exports can be passed through as from a different country of origin or to misclassify aluminium exports in order to circumvent U.S. export duties.

In addition, he says that Chinese regulators have barred U.S. producers from purchasing aluminium scrap from the Chinese market to import to U.S. However, Chinese producers continue to purchase large sums of scrap from the U.S. which is driving up costs for American producers.

He cited the names of aluminium producers like Alcoa with a local employment capacity of 600 people in Massena, and Novelis, which employs 1,100 in Scriba.

"The ITC has to step up and be a better cop on the beat to enforce a genuine fair trade system that allows our companies and workers to compete fair and square," he added.

Meanwhile, Garney Scott, President & CEO of Scepter, Inc. and Chairman of the Aluminum Association, as well as Heidi Brock, President and CEO of the Aluminum Association also testified on Chinese Industry Practices at U.S. International Trade Commission Hearing.
