ARLINGTON, VA -- The Aluminum Association is reviewing the Commerce Department’s recently released Section 232 reports on the national security implications of imported aluminum. The association believes that any remedial actions taken by the president in connection with the Commerce Department’s report should embrace the following principles:

1.Specifically address Chinese overcapacity and its effects, while avoiding unintended consequences for U.S. production and jobs.

Aluminum Association President and CEO Heidi Brock, along with industry leaders, testified today before the U.S. International Trade Commission on the antidumping and countervailing duties investigation on Chinese aluminum foil imports on Thursday.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Aluminum industry leaders testified today before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in support of a determination that imports of common alloy aluminum sheet from China injure or threaten to injure U.S. producers.  Representatives from Aleris Corporation; Arconic, Inc.; Constellium; Jupiter Aluminum; JW Aluminum Company; and Novelis Corporation testified concerning the injury caused to their companies as a result of a surge in low-priced, unfairly traded imports of common alloy sheet from China.

ARLINGTON, VA – The Aluminum Association applauds the United States Department of Commerce’s decision today to self-initiate antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on imports of common alloy sheet from the People’s Republic of China. 

The Commerce Department will now conduct investigations of whether imports of common alloy sheet from China are being sold in the United States at unfairly low prices, as well as whether Chinese producers of common alloy sheet are receiving actionable subsidies from the Government of China.
