CBP is investigating a California company for alleged antidumping duty evasion on aluminum extrusions from China, the agency said in a May 17 notice. The investigation stems from allegations filed under the Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) by Endura Products, a domestic producer of fabricated extruded aluminum door thresholds, CBP said. The company alleged that Columbia Aluminum Products evaded antiumping duties by misclassifying door thresholds.

CBP has “adjudicated” a ruling that will allow manufacturers in foreign-trade zones to avoid Section 232 tariffs on aluminum and steel, as well as planned Section 301 tariffs on products from China, a CBP official said on the agency’s biweekly ACE conference call held June 21. FTZ manufacturing operations have up to now been required by Census Bureau and Commerce Department guidance to enter goods manufactured in FTZs as originating in the country that provided the goods’ highest value in inputs, even if those inputs are worth relatively little and for CBP purposes the country of origin should be the United States. While it hasn’t been an issue before, now that Section 232 duties are in place and Section 301 tariffs are coming it can result in those manufacturers being required to declare a good as subject to the extra tariffs even when the good is of U.S. origin. A ruling is coming that says to use “U.S.” as country of origin for such merchandise on entry documentation, the CBP official said. A search on CBP’s CROSS database indicates the ruling has not been published as of press time.
