“The department, which had previously found the imports were being unfairly subsidized, said they were being dumped at a margin of 231.7 percent and it instructed U.S. border officials to collect cash deposits at that rate.”
“The department opened the investigation based on complaints by Accuride Corp of Evansville, Indiana, and Maxion Wheels Akron LLC, of Akron, Ohio. It said in a statement it was scheduled to issue its final determination in the case in early January.”
“U.S. antidumping moves represent another front in the trade conflict between Washington and Beijing. U.S. President Donald Trump may meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit next month to discuss trade.”
