The US Department of Commerce has released preliminary findings in its anti-dumping investigation concerning extruded aluminum profiles imported from 14 countries. The investigation has identified varying levels of dumping margins applied to suppliers from each country, notably high for regions such as Indonesia (5.66-112.21%), Italy (15.3-41.67%), China (4.91-376.85%), and Turkey (45.44-602.72%), among others.
Additional countervailing duties are set to be imposed on companies from Indonesia, China, Mexico, and Turkey, with rates previously announced in early March. This comes as part of efforts to address the unfair pricing and competition affecting the US aluminum market.
The Department of Commerce anticipates making a final decision by mid-July, although there remains a possibility that the investigation may extend until the end of September. This ruling aims to balance the competitive landscape in the US and safeguard domestic industries from underpriced imports.
