By
Syracuse, N.Y. — U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer today pressed the
International Trade Commission to take action to stop what aluminum
producers in New York say are "predatory" trade practices by foreign
governments and producers, especially China.
In testimony submitted to the commission on behalf of New York's
aluminum producers, Schumer, D-NY, said Chinese producers are shipping
aluminum through third-party countries to create a different country of
origin or are intentionally misclassifying aluminum exports to illegally
circumvent U.S. duties.
In addition, Chinese regulators have made it impossible for U.S.
producers to purchase aluminum scrap from the Chinese market for export
to the U.S., while China's producers continue to purchase large sums of
scrap from the U.S., driving up costs for American producers, he said.
