Extra Duties Hit Importers
The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from the People’s Republic of China. That means importers of these Chinese aluminum products will face extra duties (taxes) on those shipments starting now.
Orders Aim To Protect U.S. Producers
The AD and CVD orders were issued because Commerce and the International Trade Commission found unfairly priced imports and government support for those imports. The orders are intended to protect American businesses that make disposable aluminum containers by leveling the playing field.
