Argentina's Ministry of Economy has terminated anti-dumping (AD) duties on aluminium tubes imported from China, following the conclusion of a sunset and changed circumstances review.
{alcircleadd}The decision was formalised through Resolution No. 883, issued on 3 July 2026, bringing to an end the review process that was launched in November 2025.
The measure applies to unalloyed aluminium tubes and tubes manufactured from 3xxx and 6xxx series aluminium alloys under IRAM Standard 681, with an external diameter of 130 mm or less, including products supplied in coil form. Precision drawn tubing made from the 3xxx series remains excluded from the scope of the decision.

The affected products are classified under Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM) tariff codes 7608.10.00 and 7608.20.90.
Argentina originally opened its anti-dumping investigation in May 2019, resulting in the imposition of a 75.52 per cent anti-dumping duty on Chinese aluminium tube imports in November 2020.
The latest review considered the dumping practices for the period from July 2024 to June 2025, the injury assessment applicable as of January 2022. The anti-dumping duties have now been repealed with immediate effect with the publication of Resolution No. 883.
