Australia levies anti-dumping duties on Vietnam aluminum

The Australian Anti-Dumping Commission has issued a temporary decision imposing antidumping duties ranging 8.5-34.2% on aluminum extrusions from Vietnam, reports the Vietnam Competition Authority.

The Commission initiated an investigation this past August following receipt of a complaint lodged by Capral Limited, a manufacturer of aluminum extrusions in Australia, alleging irreparable harm to the Australian aluminum industry caused by the dumping.

Following a finding by the Commission that the plaintiff had met its burden of proof that it is likely Vietnam has and continues to dump product and that the Australian industry is being harmed, the temporary decision was issued effective retroactively to October 19, 2016.
