About Us

The U.S. Aluminum Extruders Coalition (USAEC) is a coalition of 14 American extruders. The coalition and the United Steelworkers union (USW) are seeking help from the U.S. government to stop unfairly traded imports of aluminum extrusions from 14 countries, which are injuring U.S. manufacturers and workers. An additional 14 American extruders have submitted letters of support for the effort.

The Challenge

USAEC and USW have asked the U.S. government to remedy foreign competitors’ unfair trade practices that are injuring American producers and their workers. U.S. trade laws require the federal government to impose duties on unfairly imported products. USAEC and USW are pursuing that remedy, which would boost domestic production, supply chains, investment, and job creation.

The 14 countries in the petition are China, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.

The Solution

Working together with our members, USAEC is making a difference.

Federal Request

USAEC and USW are asking the Commerce Department to calculate the full extent of dumping and subsidization by extruders in the subject countries. They also want the Department to impose duties to offset the subsidies being granted to extruders in China, Mexico, and Turkey, who represent some of the largest sources of unfair imports.

Scope of Ask

The products covered by these duties include aluminum extrusions on their own as well as the aluminum extruded components of larger parts and subassemblies.

Level Playing Field

U.S. companies and workers can compete with anyone, but only when foreign countries play by the rules and don’t undercut American manufacturers by dumping and subsidizing their products.
