December 2024: Following complaints by Thai producers on the negative effects of imports, the Department of Foreign Trade has started an anti-dumping investigation on extruded aluminium from China. Worried that cheap imports will be dumped into the local market as well as significantly infringe competition strength, the Minister of Commerce who is also the acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai has taken steps. The Ministry of Commerce has already resorted to measures like placing Anti-Dumping duties and Quantitative restrictions on some imports. These duties are on steel products importation from China, Taiwan, Japan, E.U and South Korea and Vietnam. The anti-dumping and Subsidy Committee within the Ministry of Commerce has accordingly acted upon the verbal service request by the Thai producers and initiated a 9 month investigation on extruded aluminum from China. If dumping occurs, additional duties will be levied for the next five years. If the injury continues, the time for application of the measure may be extended for another five years.
