The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of common alloy aluminum sheet from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.

Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson, Meredith M. Broadbent, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from China. 

The Commission also made negative findings concerning critical circumstances with regard to imports of this product from China.  As a result, imports of common alloy aluminum sheet from China will not be subject to retroactive antidumping or countervailing duties.

The Commission’s public report Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-591 and 731-TA-1399 (Final), USITC Publication 4861, December 2018) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by January 11, 2019; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: http://pubapps.usitc.gov/applications/publogs/qry_publication_loglist.asp.
