Following a petition from the US Aluminium Association concerning aluminium sheets between 0.2 mm and 6.3 mm made from common alloys, the US Department of Commerce is to impose anti-dumping tariffs against targeted producers from 18 countries, including Romania. Anti-dumping tariffs will range from 1.24% to 352.71% .
In case of the sheets of Romanian origin, produced by Alro S.A., the preliminary anti-dumping tariff, determined by the US Department of Commerce and applicable immediately, is of 83.94%.
Alro said it still considers the petition unfounded and the calculations behind it erroneous and intends to vigorously defend its position in front of the American authorities involved.
Alro added the tariffs would not be imposed retroactively and the company is working to mitigate any adverse impact it might face if the petition is adversely determined.
