The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from China are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. This investigation covers sales from October 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Commerce will continue to apply cash deposit requirements for these imports and has affirmed critical circumstances exist, meaning past entries from as early as October 1, 2024, remain affected. The U.S. International Trade Commission will decide if these sales have injured the U.S. industry within 45 days of this determination.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Chinese companies sell their aluminum containers in the U.S. for less money than is fair, and they will keep an eye on these imports. The International Trade Commission will soon decide if this hurts American businesses.
