Have your say on potential dumping of aluminium extrusions

Trade Remedies Authority launches investigation into potential dumping of aluminium extrusions

The Trade Remedies Authority has launched an investigation into alleged dumping of aluminium extrusion products on the UK market. 

What are aluminium extrusions?
Aluminium extrusions are commonly used in the manufacture of heavy equipment, such as aerospace components and in infrastructure projects like mining, oil and gas and chemical and refinery equipment. They can also be found in windows, doors and railings, cars, buses and trains, and air conditioners, personal watercraft and medical equipment.

What is dumping?
Dumping is when a product(s) are exported at a price less than their normal value, generally meaning they are exported for less than they are sold in the domestic market. This can have implications for producers and importers of the products concerned. 

Register as an interested party

The Trade Remedies Authority is seeking information from all interested parties in order to establish whether dumping of aluminium extrusions has occurred, whether that has harmed industry and whether mitigations are required.

If you are a company in Northern Ireland which produces, imports, uses, sells or otherwise has an interest in aluminium extrusion products, you may wish to review the detail of the Trade Remedies Authority investigation. 

If you consider yourself to be an interested party, you can register with the Trade Remedies Authority.

The deadline for registration is 06 July 2021.
