Washington slaps tariffs on aluminum imports from 18 countries – By Russia Today Staff (Russia Today) / Mar 3 2021
The US Commerce Department has introduced duties on common alloy aluminum sheet from 18 nations. The tariffs come as a result of an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation launched under the Trump administration.
The duties on common alloy aluminum sheet, which is used in building facades, truck trailer bodies, and street signs, were announced hours after the Senate voted to confirm Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo as the new commerce secretary.
Germany reportedly had the highest anti-dumping rate, ranging from 49.4 percent to 242.8 percent. It is the biggest exporter of aluminum sheet to the US, with $286.6 million worth in 2019.
