The report shows that among 18 countries that levy anti-dumping duties, the tax rates range from 49.4% to 242.8%, with Germany being the highest. At the same time, Germany is also the country that exports the most aluminum plates to the United States. From 2065438 to 2009, Germany's aluminum exports to the United States reached $286.6 million.
A statement issued by the Bureau of International Trade of the U.S. Department of Commerce lists countries and regions subject to anti-dumping duties, including Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey and Taiwan Province Province of China. According to the report, the Trump administration previously imposed a tariff of 10% on most imported aluminum according to the National Security Law, and the above tariffs were levied on this basis.
According to the report, the decision to impose these tariffs was announced just hours after Gina Raimondeau, governor of Rhode Island, was elected as the US Commerce Secretary. On Tuesday, the US Senate approved Raymond's nomination by 84 votes to 15. Some Republicans who opposed the nomination of Ramondo said they were worried that Raimondeau was "not tough enough" on trade and science and technology issues with China. At the nomination hearing held in June of 5438+ 10, Raimondeau refused to promise to continue to impose certain restrictions on products that may be exported to Huawei, a China telecommunications company, and was criticized by some * * * and party member.
According to the report, Biden seems to be in no hurry to cancel the tariffs imposed by Trump on US steel and aluminum imports in 20 18. The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) revealed that Biden has promised to change Trump's "America is above everything else" trade stance. Biden hopes to mend relations with key American allies such as the European Union and Canada, which are confused and angry at the capricious and radical words and deeds of former President Trump. However, the Biden administration showed no tendency to act quickly on this issue. Instead, Biden focused on vaccinating as soon as possible and providing more assistance to the economy hit by the epidemic.
Just a month ago, Biden overturned Trump's move to end the tariff collection on the last day of his term by maintaining the tariff of 10% on aluminum imported from the United Arab Emirates. Biden said at the time: "The existing evidence shows that oil imported from UAE may still replace domestic production, thus threatening our national security."
