Australia has wrapped up its latest anti-dumping review of Malaysian mill-finish aluminium extrusions, keeping duties on some producers and scrapping measures on another company.

Under the decision, which will take effect from June 3, 2026, LB Aluminium will continue to face a floor price arrangement, while Milleon Extruder remains subject to an anti-dumping duty rate of 3.4 per cent. However, Australia decided to discontinue duty collection against Kamco Aluminium.

Capral Limited filed an application for the recent review in June 2025. Authorities investigate dumping activity that occurred between April 2024 and March 2025, and injury to the domestic industry over a longer period of time back to 2021.

The case is linked to a broader anti-dumping investigation Australia launched several years ago into surface-polished aluminium profiles imported from Malaysia.

Back in 2020, the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission initiated an investigation following complaints from Capral Limited regarding aluminium profile products that had undergone additional processing after extrusion, including cutting, punching, drilling and machining.

In its 2021 ruling, Australian authorities imposed anti-dumping duties on several Malaysian producers after determining varying dumping margins across different companies.

At the time, Milleon Extruder recorded a dumping margin of 6.1 per cent, while LB Aluminium’s margin stood at 2.6 per cent. Kamco Aluminium faced a significantly higher margin of 18.5 per cent, and Superb Aluminium Industries was assigned a dumping margin of 12.8 per cent.

Another company, Genesis Aluminium Industries, was initially part of the investigation but was later removed from the case before the final ruling was issued in 2021.

Australia’s latest sunset review suggests authorities believe some level of dumping risk still remains for certain exporters, though the removal of measures against Kamco Aluminium indicates conditions may have changed for parts of the sector since the earlier investigation.
