US bemoans Chinese aluminium imports

The US Aluminum Association (AA) has accused Chinese companies of misclassifying certain products to avoid duties on primary aluminium and has insisted that China steps up to its responsibilities to play fair. AA president and CEO Heidi Brock told the International Aluminium Conference in Cape Town that Chinese companies were relabelling products to circumvent antidumping duties and were taking advantage of value-added tax rebates on semi-fabricated products.
