Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
Department Announces Preliminary Results
The U.S. Department of Commerce, through its International Trade Administration, has announced the preliminary results of the Countervailing Duty (CVD) Administrative Review on Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s Republic of China. This notice was published under Federal Register Volume 91, Number 72, on April 15, 2026.
Scope of the Review
The review looked into whether some Chinese manufacturers and exporters of aluminum extrusions received illegal government subsidies during the period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024.
Partial Rescission
Commerce has rescinded this review in part. Specifically, the administrative review was withdrawn for 79 companies. This was at the request of the petitioner, the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee. Additionally, there was no review performed on 12 companies as there were no customs entries during the review period.
Methodology
The review was conducted under section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930. Six companies were found to not respond to the requests and were given a countervailable subsidy rate based on data, implying adverse inferences.
Preliminary Results
The preliminary finding imposed a subsidy rate of 164.29 percent ad valorem for the following six companies: Anji Chang Hong Chain Manufacturing, Assa Abloy (Zhongshan) Security Technology, Dezhou Huoamei Windows and Doors, Ewellix Motion Technologies, Ningbo Lianda Winch, and Shanghai Zesheng Automotive Technology.
Public Comment and Hearing

Conclusion
This announcement marks an important stage in the enforcement of trade laws concerning aluminum extrusions from China. It demonstrates ongoing efforts by the U.S. Department of Commerce to ensure fair trade practices. The results remain subject to change pending final assessment.
