US ITC announces to put import duties on aluminum sheet

The U.S. International Trade Commission said on Friday it made a final determination that American producers were being harmed by imports of common alloy aluminium sheet products from China, a finding that locks in duties on the products.

The ITC determination means that duties ranging from 96.3 per cent to 176.2 per cent previously announced by the U.S. Commerce Department would be put in place for five years.
