INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-695-698 and 731-TA-1643-1657 (Preliminary)]


Aluminum Extrusions From China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, 
Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, 
Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of aluminum 
extrusions from China, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, 
Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab 
Emirates and Vietnam provided for in subheadings 7604.10.10, 
7604.10.30, 7604.10.50, 7604.21.00, 7604.29.10, 7604.29.30, 7604.29.50, 
7608.10.00, 7608.20.00, 7609.00.00, 7610.10.00, and 7610.90.00 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be 
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be 
subsidized by the governments of China, Indonesia, and Mexico. The 
Commission also determines that there is a reasonable indication that 
an industry in the United States is threatened with material injury by 
reason of imports of aluminum extrusions from Turkey that are alleged 
to be subsidized by the government of Turkey.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 88 FR 74421 and 88 FR 74433 (October 31, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission further finds that imports of aluminum extrusions 
from the Dominican Republic that are allegedly sold in the United 
States at LTFV are negligible pursuant to section 771(24) of the Act, 
and its investigation with regard to imports from the Dominican 
Republic is thereby terminated pursuant to section 733(a)(1) of the 
Act.

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be

published in the Federal Register as provided in Sec.  207.21 of the 
Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary determinations in the 
investigations under Sec. Sec.  703(b) or 733(b) of the Act, or, if the 
preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of affirmative 
final determinations in those investigations under Sec. Sec.  705(a) or 
735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the 
preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate 
appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Industrial users, 
and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold at the retail 
level, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear 
as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.
