The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. Commissioner Rhonda K. Schmidtlein did not participate in this vote.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from China, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about August 9, 2024, and its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about October 23, 2024.
The Commission’s public report Disposable Aluminum Containers, Pans, Trays, and Lids from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-727 and 731-TA-1695 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5523, July 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations. Status of proceedings and additional information for these investigations can be found at the Commission’s Investigations Database System (IDS).
The report will be available by July 26, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
