Detailed below is an update on anti-dumping cases taken by the Anti-Dumping Commission regarding certain Aluminium Extrusions exported to Australia from China, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand:

China: review of measures
The Anti-Dumping Commission completed a review and released a report in October 2017 in relation to the anti-dumping measures applying to certain Aluminium Extrusions exported from China. Anti-dumping measures have been in place since 2010 and were last reviewed in 2015. The Commission recommended an increase in anti-dumping measures that apply and the Government has accepted these
recommendations, effective from 11 November 2017.

These increased measures apply to around 60% of Chinese imported Aluminium Extrusions, and the measures imposed vary from 3.6% to 64.4%. A copy of the Anti-Dumping Commission Final Report No.392 can be found on the Commission’s website.

New case: 2 Chinese importers and Thailand
A new case was initiated by the Commission in October 2017 against 2 Chinese importers, Guangdong Jiangsheng Aluminium Co Ltd (previously known as Tai Ao) and Guangdong Zhongya Aluminium Co Ltd,
and certain Aluminium Extrusion imports from Thailand. The Commission estimates that this case relates to about 33% of all Aluminium Extrusions exported to Australia. A Statement of Essential Facts is
expected in Q1 2018.

Anti-circumvention case
An anti-circumvention case was initiated by the Anti-Dumping Commission in October 2017. This relates to transhipment of certain Aluminium Extrusions via a third country where no anti-dumping measures
apply. It is alleged the goods originated from China. A Statement of Essential Facts is expected in Q1 2018.

Malaysia and Vietnam
Anti-dumping measures in relation to certain Aluminium Extrusions exported from Malaysia and Vietnam have been in place since earlier this year. Measures apply to all Vietnamese imports and about 38% of
Malaysian imports for the investigation period. Imports from Malaysia and Vietnam were estimated to account for around 30% of all Aluminium Extrusions exported to Australia.
