US initiates anti-dumping investigation into aluminium extrusions imported from Vietnam

Fourteen Vietnamese companies were accused of dumping aluminium extrusions at an alleged margin of 41.84 per cent.

The US considers Vietnam a country with a non-market economy and, therefore, will use alternative value from a third country to calculate its dumping margin. The petitioners have proposed the use of Indonesia as the third country since it has the same level of economic development like Vietnam, with a significant number of aluminium extrusion manufacturers.
