China Aluminum Extrusions: AD/CV Orders to be Issued, Scope to Exclude Heat Sinks
The International Trade Commission has announced that antidumping and countervailing duty orders, with a scope change regarding heat sinks, will be issued on aluminum extrusions from China, pursuant to its final affirmative AD and CV injury determinations. The ITC has determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of aluminum extrusions from China that the International Trade Administration has determined are subsidized and sold in the U.S. at less than fair value.

The Commissioners also voted in the negative with respect to imports of finished heat sinks from China. As a result, the ITA will issue AD and CV duty orders on imports of aluminum extrusions from China, with a scope exclusion for finished heat sinks.
The provisional measures in the CV duty investigation expired on January 6; therefore, upon the date of Federal Register publication of the ITC's final injury determination, CV duties will be collected again, and the AD duty rates will then be adjusted for the export subsidy portion of the CV duty rates (the adjusted AD rates were previously determined to be 33.02% for Guang Ya Group/New Zhongya/Xinya and zero for the separate rate respondents).
