Israel imposes five-year anti-dumping duties on Chinese aluminum profiles and tubes

Israel has taken a major step to protect its aluminum industry by imposing anti-dumping duties on imports of aluminum profiles and tubes from China for the next five years. The decision, announced by Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat, follows an investigation that concluded Chinese exporters were selling products in Israel at unfairly low prices and harming domestic producers.

The move was based on findings compiled by Trade Duties Commissioner Danny Tal and reviewed by the advisory committee at the ministry. Their conclusion was clear: dumping practices were distorting the market and creating real damage for Israeli manufacturers. Anti-dumping duties are hardly unusual in global trade. Anchored in World
