U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced on Friday that the Commerce Department issued affirmative preliminary antidumping duty determination on aluminium foil from China. It was found that exporters of aluminium foil sold their product at prices below cost.

The U.S. Commerce Department would impose duties in the range of 96.81 per cent to 162.24 per cent on Chinese aluminium foil. Commerce will announce its final anti-dumping determination on February 23, 2018.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will collect cash deposits from importers of aluminium foil based on the preliminary rates.
In 2016 aluminium foil imports from China were valued at an estimated $389 million. U.S. aluminium foil producers filed a petition with the U.S. government accusing China of dumping foils in the United States.
In August this year, the United States Commerce Department imposed preliminary countervailing duties on aluminium foil imports from China. The Commerce Department found imports of aluminium foil are subsidised.
