How US dumping duties will affect Egypt’s aluminum industry
The United States, one of Egypt’s key target markets, intends to impose customs duties on Egyptian aluminum sheets imports, which could hamper expansion and production increase.
CAIRO — In statements to Al-Monitor, Walid Gamal el-Din, chairman of Egypt’s Export Council for Building Materials, revealed the possibility of imposing dumping duties on Egyptian aluminum exports to the United States.
Gamal el-Din said over the phone that the US government started its investigation into the dumping of aluminum in US markets from several countries, including Egypt. He expects the results to exonerate Egypt since the latter does not export large quantities of aluminum to the United States, whereas other countries dump the US market.
