Notice
Summary

No Antidumping Duties — SA Aluminum
If you import or buy common alloy aluminum sheet from South Africa, the Department of Commerce preliminarily found those products were not sold in the U.S. at below normal value during April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. That means no additional antidumping taxes will be applied for that review period at this preliminary stage.
