The Commerce Department recently issued its preliminary rulings in two much-anticipated scope disputes on aluminum extrusions, holding on March 14 that 5-series alloy extrusions with 1 percent magnesium content are not subject to antidumping and countervailing duties on aluminum extrusions from China (A-570-967/C-570-968). The agency said domestic industry’s claims that 5-series extrusions are merely an attempt to evade duties are better addressed in an anti-circumvention inquiry, which the agency initiated on the same day, according to a notice (here). Commerce also preliminarily determined to set importer certification requirements should it adopt its scope ruling as final.
