The US Department of Commerce is preparing to tax aluminium sheet exporters from 18 countries after determining Tuesday they had benefited from subsidies and dumping.
The US International Trade Commission (ITC), an independent body, must approve the final decision by April 15 to impose anti-dumping or countervailing duties, a department statement said.
The investigation, launched under Donald Trump’s administration, had been requested by nearly a dozen US aluminium alloy manufacturers, including Arconic and Aleris Rolled products, which felt they were being harmed by competing imports at lower prices.
