Senators call for enforcement of duty orders
WASHINGTON
U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Cleveland and Rob Portman, a Republican from the Cincinnati area Wednesday called on U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske to fully enforce antidumping and countervailing duty orders on China’s aluminum extrusions in order to level the playing field for domestic aluminum extruders.
Brown and Portman have worked to give domestic industries the ability to fight unfair trade practices. Earlier this year, the Leveling the Playing Field Act, introduced by Brown and co-sponsored by Portman, was signed into law, ushering in the most-significant changes to trade-remedy law since 2002.
