Following a petition from the US Aluminum Association concerning aluminum sheets between 0.2 mm and 6.3 mm made from common alloys, in October 2020 the US Department of Commerce imposed anti-dumping tariffs against targeted producers from 18 countries, including Romania, ranging from 1.24% to 352.71% .
In case of the sheets of Romanian origin, produced by Alro S.A., the preliminary anti-dumping tariff was set at 83.94% and has now been reduced to 37.26%.
Alro said it continues to consider the petition as unfounded and intends to vigorously defend its position in front of the relevant American authorities.
