China's Aluminum Extruders Lumped Together: 79 Reviews Cashed Out
Published Date: 4/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed aluminum extrusions from China for May 2024 to April 2025 and found that none of the companies qualified for special treatment, so they’re all grouped together under the China-wide rate. For 79 companies that withdrew their review requests, the review is canceled. This means importers and companies should watch for final decisions that could affect duties and costs soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
18 Companies Placed in China-Wide Pool
If you import aluminum extrusions from any of the 18 companies listed in Appendix III, Commerce preliminarily found those companies ineligible for separate rates and placed them in the China-wide entity for the May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025 period of review. That means those companies are treated as part of the larger China-wide group for antidumping duty purposes.
China-Wide Rate Stays at 86.01%
Commerce states that the China-wide entity’s current antidumping rate is 86.01 percent and, because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity for this review, that 86.01% rate is not subject to change. If a Chinese exporter is not found entitled to a separate rate, that exporter would face the China-wide 86.01% rate.
Importers Must Certify Reimbursement or Risk Double Duties
If you are an importer, you must file a certificate about whether antidumping and/or countervailing duties were reimbursed before liquidation of the relevant entries during the May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025 POR. If you fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
79 Companies’ Reviews Rescinded — Duties Assessed at Deposit Rates
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for 79 companies that withdrew their review requests, so Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess antidumping duties on those companies’ entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry during the May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025 period. Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after this notice’s publication (publication date April 14, 2026).
How Cash Deposit Rates Will Be Set After Final Results
When Commerce publishes the final results of this review, cash deposit requirements for future entries will be set as follows: (1) individually calculated respondents will have deposits equal to their weighted-average dumping margin from the final results; (2) previously investigated exporters who have separate exporter-specific rates will keep those rates; (3) Chinese exporters not entitled to a separate rate will have the China-wide rate (86.01%); and (4) non-Chinese exporters without their own rate will have the rate of the Chinese exporter that supplied them. These deposit rules take effect on entries from the publication date of the final results.

These changes take effect on May 15, 2026, impacting importers and sellers of these steel products.
