U.S. Antidumping and Countervailing Duties on Aluminum Extrusions from China (A-570-967 / C-570-968)
Aluminum extrusions from China may be affected by both a U.S. antidumping order (A-570-967) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-968).

The U.S. maintains both an antidumping (AD) order (A-570-967) and a countervailing duty (CVD) order (C-570-968) on aluminum extrusions from China. Importers of these products should review whether their goods may fall within the scope, since both orders can apply simultaneously and affect cash-deposit requirements at entry.
Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope
The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.
- •Extruded aluminum shapes and profiles (hollow and solid) made from 1-, 3-, or 6-series aluminum alloys may be included
- •Aluminum pipes, tubes, bars, and rods produced by extrusion may be covered
- •Drawn aluminum (extrusions drawn after extrusion) may be included
- •Mill-finished, anodized, painted, powder-coated, brushed, or polished extrusions may be covered
- •Fabricated extrusions that are cut-to-length, machined, drilled, punched, bent, or threaded may be included
- •Extrusions imported as parts for window frames, door frames, solar panels, or curtain walls may be covered
- •Aluminum extrusion subassemblies attached by welding or fasteners may fall within scope
- ?Non-aluminum-extrusion components of subassemblies may be outside the scope
- ?Finished goods 'kits' as specifically defined in Commerce's scope may be treated differently
- ?Extrusions made from aluminum alloys outside the 1-, 3-, and 6-series designations may not be covered
- ?Products not produced by an extrusion process may fall outside scope
- ?Alloys not meeting the stated composition thresholds (e.g., manganese/magnesium/silicon limits) may be excluded
Who it affects
This typically matters for importers of aluminum profiles, tubes, bars, rods, and fabricated extrusion parts of Chinese origin, including components imported for later assembly into windows, doors, solar arrays, curtain walls, or furniture.
What the duty means
Cash deposits are collected at entry and rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review, and can be high; because both AD (A-570-967) and CVD (C-570-968) orders exist, both types of deposits may apply. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared.
Importer checklist — how to assess your risk
- ☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm it identifies the product as extruded aluminum
- ☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing shape, form, and finish
- ☐Obtain the alloy series designation and material composition to compare against the 1-, 3-, and 6-series scope thresholds
- ☐Document the intended use and any fabrication or finishing performed
- ☐Assemble country-of-origin support and manufacturing records
- ☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and confirm the specific producer/exporter combination
- ☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening purposes only
- ☐Confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel, and do not rely only on supplier statements
- ☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing
Risks to watch
- ⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings for goods routed through third countries
- ⚠Scope inquiries that may bring borderline products within the order
- ⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect deposit rate
- ⚠Misdeclaration or failure to declare, which may lead to penalties and retroactive duties
