Perfectus Aluminum Inc. Responds to Trade Group
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ONTARIO, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perfectus Aluminum Inc. has
issued the following: On October 12, 2017 the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC),
an industry group representing largely American aluminum extruders, posted to
its blog a false narrative regarding a suit to which Perfectus Aluminum Inc. is
a related party. The government is not "seeking unpaid duties from Perfectus for
goods brought into the country." Rather, the government is attempting to use a
2017 Department of Commerce determination to assess retroactive antidumping
duties on goods imported as early as 2011. It is discouraging that AEC would
tout such an obviously egregious government overstep as a "victory" to their
members and the industry: were it one of AEC's own members facing such an
obvious violation of fair play and due process, it would rightfully argue that
government overreach is a threat to manufacturers everywhere.
In addition to the hypocrisy of the AEC's promotion of this case, its stance on
the underlying issues warrant serious scrutiny. AEC's position, which it has
articulated in numerous filings before the Department of Commerce, is that
permitting Perfectus' product to enter the American stream of commerce would, in
AEC's words, "harm U.S. producers." It bears repeating that at the time
Perfectus' products were detained-in direct response to AEC's victory before
Commerce-they were in a port leaving the United States. If the AEC gets its wish
and Perfectus' goods are indeed forfeited, they would be liquidated and would,
by law, be released in some form into the open market: the very outcome AEC
purports to fear most.
Finally, allegations do not equate to guilt. Cherry-picking language from a
civil complaint to promote a false narrative is both unethical and untruthful.
To this end, Perfectus has attached its filing, in its entirety, at the end of
this release.
