Aluminum Extrusions Set to Increase in Price, Cladding Concepts Offers a Solution
At Cladding Concepts, we understand the importance of keeping our clients informed about industry news that can impact their projects. Recent developments regarding anti-dumping (AD) duty liability on aluminum extrusions from certain countries might raise concerns for those involved in facade projects.
Through this, Cladding Concepts remains a reliable source for high-quality rainscreen facade systems, unaffected by these new AD duties.
Understanding the New AD Duty on Aluminum Extrusions
The International Trade Administration (ITA) has issued preliminary affirmative dumping determinations on aluminum extrusions originating from specific countries. This means that AD duty cash deposits are now required for certain aluminum extrusions entering the United States from these countries. AD duty liability could also be retroactive should the ITA issue affirmative critical circumstances determinations at a later date.
It's crucial to note that this ruling only applies to aluminum extrusions sourced from the designated countries. See the full list of countries here.
At Cladding Concepts, we source our rainscreen facade systems from Q-Vent, a company with manufacturing facilities in Bulgaria and the United States. This means our rainscreen products are not subject to the new AD duty liability on aluminum extrusions. We maintain a healthy stock of rainscreen components locally, ensuring prompt project delivery without any disruptions.
The Impact of AD Duties on Facades in General
The new AD duty liability may cause price fluctuations for facade projects that rely on aluminum extrusions from the affected countries. However, this impact is likely to be limited to specific projects and materials.
Cladding Concepts remains a reliable partner for facade projects, offering a wide range of facade and rainscreen solutions, including rainscreen systems, that are not impacted by these AD duties.
