“We urge the Commerce Department to take action promptly to enforce our trade laws against efforts by a Chinese producer and its Korean affiliate to evade the unfair trade orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from China,” said Charles Johnson, president and CEO of the Aluminum Association.
Key Points:
- “We urge the Commerce Department to take action promptly to enforce our trade laws against efforts by a Chinese producer and its Korean affiliate to evade the unfair trade orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from China,” said Charles Johnson, president and CEO of the Aluminum Association.
- The aluminum sheet at issue includes both unclad aluminum sheet, as well as multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet.
- In February 2019, the Commerce Department published antidumping and countervailing (AD/CVD) orders on imports of CAAS from China following an action by the Aluminum Association’s Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet Trade Enforcement Working Group.
- Since those orders were published, U.S. imports of aluminum sheet from China have declined substantially.
