AD Case on Aluminum Extrusions from China Advances

The International Trade Administration has made an affirmative preliminary determination in its antidumping duty investigation of aluminum extrusions from China. As a result, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits or bonds equal to the weighted-average dumping margins, adjusted as appropriate for export subsidies found in the companion countervailing duty investigation. The ITA has established a preliminary dumping margin of 59.31% for all Chinese producers and exporters.

The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of shapes and forms produced via an extrusion process of aluminum alloys. The major alloying elements are manganese, magnesium and silicon. These products are generally used in construction applications and are incorporated into window and door frames and sills, gutters and solar power frames. They also serve as parts for cars and trucks, structural and decorative elements on boats, and furniture parts as well as in a variety of other consumer and industrial goods. The subject goods are classifiable under HTSUS 7604.21.0000, 7604.29.1000, 7604.29.3010, 7604.29.3050, 7604.29.5030, 7604.29.5060, 7608.20.0030, 7608.20.0090, 7610.10, 7610.90, 7615.19, 7615.20 and 7616.99.

ITA Fact Sheet on Prelim AD Rates for Aluminum Extrusions from China

The International Trade Administration has issued a fact sheet announcing its affirmative preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of aluminum extrusions from China (A-570-967).

As a result of this final AD determination, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect an AD duty cash deposit or bond on imports of aluminum extrusions from China based on the preliminary AD duty margin below, upon publication in the Federal Register, adjusted for any export subsidies, as appropriate, that were found in the companion countervailing duty investigation.

Highlights of the fact sheet include:

The ITA has determined that Chinese producers/exporters have sold aluminum extrusions in the U.S. at less than fair value, finding an AD duty margin of 59.31%.

Mandatory respondent Guang Ya Aluminum Industries Co., Ltd., Foshan Guangcheng Aluminum Co., Ltd., Guang Ya Aluminum Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd., and Kong Ah International Company Limited (collectively, Guang Ya Group); Zhaoqing New Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd., Zhongya Shaped Aluminum HK Holding Ltd, and Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd. (collectively, New Zhongya)

and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product Co., Ltd. (Xinya), all three referred to as Guang Ya Group/New Zhongya/Xinya, have been collapsed for purposes of the preliminary determination and collectively will be assigned the single AD margin of 59.31%.

However, Guang Ya Group/New Zhongya/Xinya will have a preliminary AD duty cash deposit/bond rate of 59.07%, due to an adjustment for export subsidies found in the companion CV duty investigation.

Twenty-nine additional Chinese producers/exporters qualified for a separate AD duty cash deposit/bond rate of 59.31%.

All other Chinese producers/exporters will be subject to the China-wide entity's preliminary AD duty cash deposit/bond rate of 59.31% (including Zhaoqing Asia Aluminum Factory Co. Ltd. (ZAA)).

Final Determination Scheduled for January 2011

The ITA is currently scheduled to make its final AD duty determination in January 2011.
