Aluminum Extrusion Antidumping Duties on China: US A-570-967, EU 2021/546, Vietnam

Not legal advice. This guide summarises official trade-remedy notices on aluminum extrusions originating in China. Each statement links to the notice it comes from. Rates and scope can change with every review, so confirm your product's classification and the rate that applies to your exporter with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel before you order.

The sections below cover three import markets: the United States, the European Union and Vietnam. Each measure sets its own scope, its own company list and its own rates, so read the section for the market you import into.

Importer paperwork

The antidumping notice reminds importers that they must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) before liquidation, and that failing to do so can lead Commerce to presume reimbursement and assess double antidumping duties.

How Vietnamese customs apply the rate

If the declarant cannot submit proof of origin, the 35.58% rate applies; if the proof of origin shows a country or territory other than China, no anti-dumping duty is payable. Source: MOIT Decision 2531/QĐ-BCT of 23 September 2024 (official PDF).

For goods of Chinese origin, customs then check the producer's original quality certificate, and the 35.58% rate applies if it is missing or the producer name does not match a producer listed in the notice. Source: MOIT Decision 2531/QĐ-BCT of 23 September 2024 (official PDF).

Customs finally check the exporter named in the sales contract and commercial invoice: the listed rate applies only if that name matches the producer or the related trading company in the same row of the notice's table, and 35.58% applies otherwise.

These steps follow from the notices above; they are not a substitute for a broker's written opinion.

1. Get your product's exact tariff line (HTSUS, CN or HS) confirmed in writing by your customs broker, and compare the product against the written scope text, not only the code.
2. Ask the exporter for the exact legal names of the producer and the exporter, and compare them with the company table in the notice for your destination market.
3. For the EU, make sure the commercial invoice carries the declaration required by Article 1(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/546. Source: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/546 of 29 March 2021, OJ L 109, 30.3.2021.

Does an anti-dumping order mean I cannot import aluminum extrusions from China? No. The US, EU and Vietnam notices set duty or cash-deposit rates for goods inside their scope, and the rate depends on the product and on the named producer or exporter.

Does every Chinese exporter pay the same rate? No. In the EU the rates run from 21.2% for named companies to 32.1% for all other companies, in Vietnam from 2.85% to 35.58%, and in the US exporters without a separate rate post the China-wide antidumping deposit of 86.01 percent.
