The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), with approval from the Secretary of Homeland Security, has determined that aluminum products made by Kingtom Aluminio S.R.L. using forced or convict labor are being imported, or are likely to be imported, into the United States. This determination is based on an investigation that found sufficient evidence supporting these claims. As a result, such aluminum products will not be allowed entry into the U.S., and any found at ports may be seized unless importers can prove that prohibited labor was not used in their production. This decision comes under the authority of U.S. law prohibiting the importation of goods made with forced labor.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is notifying the public about scope ruling applications they have received. These applications involve requests for determinations on whether certain products are subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders. In November 2024, scope rulings were requested for products such as wood mouldings, millwork from China, and aluminum extrusions from China. Interested parties are invited to participate in the scope inquiries and can find further information and instructions on the Commerce department's website.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has overturned previous decisions from the U.S. Court of International Trade regarding aluminum door thresholds from China. These thresholds, imported by Worldwide Door Components, Inc. and Columbia Aluminum Products, LLC, are now classified as subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders. This decision means that the Department of Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue holding the thresholds until further instructions are given. Additionally, the cash deposit rates for these items will be determined by the rates applicable to similar products from China.

The Department of Commerce has completed its review of a countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from China for 2018. This review found that Chinese producers and exporters of these aluminum products received subsidies, with the final subsidy rates listed in the official review results. Some companies had their participation in the review rescinded, and the Department plans to enforce cash deposits and duties accordingly. The merchandise included in this review involves a wide variety of aluminum extrusions, with some exceptions for specific alloy compositions and finished products.
