Trade commission finds Chinese aluminum wire, cable export harms U.S. industry

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) on Wednesday said it had determined that U.S. industry was materially injured by imports of aluminum wire and cable from China, locking in U.S. antidumping and countervailing duties. The U.S. Commerce Department in October said it had determined that Chinese exporters sold aluminum wire and cable at less than fair value in the United States. Such imports from China amounted to $115 million in 2018, it said.

The ITC said it would release a public report on its investigation backing the Commerce Department's findings on Jan. 6.
