In the Department of Commerce’s ongoing antidumping duty investigations of aluminum extrusions, GDLSK successfully represented three foreign producers/exporters, securing low preliminary ADD rates for all. Specifically:
- In Malaysia, our client Genesis Aluminum Industries Sdn. Bhd was preliminarily found not dumping and assigned a 0% ADD rate;
- In Indonesia, our client PT Alfo Citra Abadi was preliminarily assigned a 5.65% ADD rate, while all other companies were assigned higher ADD rates; and
- In UAE, our client Gulf Extrusions LLC was preliminarily assigned a 9.13% ADD rate, while all other companies were assigned higher ADD rates.
These preliminary results should be published in the Federal Register this week, and the ADD rates go into effect as cash deposits for all entries for consumption made on and after the date of publication. The DOC’s final ADD determinations are expected in mid-September.
DOC also revised the scope of these ADD investigations by including an exclusion for certain subassemblies. GDLSK is representing importers seeking to benefit from this new exclusion.
Finally, DOC set a deadline of May 22, 2024 for parties to file comments and factual information concerning the scope of these investigations. This is an additional opportunity for parties to obtain clarification as to whether their aluminum extrusion products are subject to ADD.
Partners Jordan Kahn, Andrew Schutz, and Michael Holton secured the wins. The full preliminary determinations are available here.
