UK Imposes Antidumping Duties on Aluminum Extrusions From China
The U.K. imposed antidumping duties on aluminum extrusions from China, in a Dec. 16 notice. The duties apply to bars, rods, profiles, tubes and "pipes; unassembled; whether or not prepared for use in structures (for example cut to length, drilled, bent, chamfered, threaded); made from aluminium whether or not alloyed, containing not more than 99.3% aluminium."

Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
The Trade Remedies Authority carried out an investigation on dumping allegations covering the period June 2020 to May 2021, finding Chinese exporters have been dumping their products in the U.K. and that the domestic industry was materially harmed by these dumped goods. As a result, the U.K. imposed the duties, though it excluded aluminum structures or parts of structures, subassemblies, products imported in a finished goods kit, and welded tubes and pipes.
The duties range from 0% to 15.6%, with all non-individually examined cooperating exporters getting a 15.4% dumping rate.
