ITC Issues Preliminary Injury Determination on Certain Aluminum Plate From South Africa
The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of certain aluminum plate from South Africa. All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative. As a result of today's vote, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its antidumping investigation of imports of certain aluminum plate from South Africa, with its preliminary determination due on or about March 24, 2004.
This investigation covers only imports of 6000 series alloy plate from South Africa, a product used widely in American industry and is classified under HTS subheading 7606.12.3030. The primary South African exporter of this plate is Hulett Aluminium (Pty) Limited.
