Frequently asked questions

Why so much AD on Chinese extrusions?

Structural over-capacity: China exports ~1.5m MT/yr of extrusions at margins other producers can't match. US 2024 final determination stacked AD (32-133%) on top of CVD (up to 244%), effectively closing US market to Chinese origin. Transhipment via Vietnam/Malaysia is monitored under scope inquiry.
