Commerce Secretary says China isn't on the list, since tariffs had already been imposed on its aluminium products. FMTNews
WASHINGTON: The US is imposing new tariffs on US$1.96 billion worth of aluminium sheet products from 18 countries after determining that the goods were being dumped, US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Friday.
The tariffs were being immediately imposed on countries including Germany and Bahrain, even though the department’s determination that there was dumping was preliminary, he told Fox Business Network. Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey were also affected, he said.He said China was not on the list, adding US tariffs had already been imposed on Beijing’s aluminium products, which led to Chinese excess capacity that displaced production in other countries and resulted in dumping in the US.
The tariff rate would be largest against Germany with 52% to 132% followed by Bahrain with rates in single digits, Ross said. He said a rise in US consumption of certain products amid the pandemic, such as recreational vehicles and boats, increased the importance of aluminium sheet pricing.
