Members of the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC), Wauconda, Ill., recently called on the government to act on lingering circumvention and duty evasion issues related to certain Chinese aluminum extrusion imports and China’s overcapacity in primary aluminum production.
Members met with the staff members of Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Joni Ernst (D-Iowa), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and Bob Casey (D-Pa.) to discuss key issues affecting the aluminum extrusion industry and to ask for help, including a circumvention and evasion problem with the Zhongwang Group in China.
Members also asked that the senators contact the U.S. Trade Representative’s office and encourage it to take Century Aluminum’s World Trade Organization case, which is related to China’s overcapacity in primary aluminum production and how that affects the global aluminum market.
Other AEC members testified at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) 332 hearing on “Aluminum: Competitive Conditions Affecting the U.S. Industry.”The ITC is tasked with studying the impacts of China’s policies on the aluminum industry and on the U.S.
