Mexico ends anti-dumping on Chinese Aluminum Discs

On November 4, 2025, Mexico’s Ministry of Economy (SE) announced the termination of anti-dumping measures against aluminum discs from China. The decision, effective due to no request for a sunset review, ends duties imposed on November 6, 2020, which levied a $1.17 per kilogram anti-dumping tax on imports under tariff code 7616.99.10. This aims to promote fair trade and aligns with Mexico’s commitments under the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The termination takes effect from November 7, 2025, following an investigation that confirmed dumping by China caused injury to the domestic industry. This reflects adjustments in Mexico’s trade policy, potentially influenced by global supply chain shifts. Chinese exporters of aluminum discs will benefit from duty-free access to the Mexican market, boosting bilateral trade.

As a North American manufacturing hub, Mexico’s move may encourage more Chinese investment in aluminum processing, supporting nearshoring trends. The termination complies with Mexican trade regulations and international obligations, expected to reduce costs for aluminum products and benefit downstream industries like automotive and packaging.
