Ministry of Commerce (MOC) expressed strong protest against Canada's decision on anti-dumping duty rates and countervailing duty rates of aluminum extrusion imported from China, MOC said in a statement Tuesday.

MOC spokesman Yao Jian said Canada's judgment that the country's aluminum extrusion industry is not a market-oriented industry is false as the industry is a highly competitive sector, mainly run by private companies.

He said there were also problems in the investigation procedures conducted by Canada, arguing Canada's decision of determining the dumping margin by relying on surrogate data and meanwhile collecting countervailing duties was against rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

On February 16, the Canada Border Services Agency finalized anti-dumping duty rates at between 1.7 percent and 101 percent and countervailing duty rates at between 2.59 yuan ($0.38) and 15.84 yuan per kilogram for Chinese aluminum extrusion, according to the Interfax China website.

Yao said Chinese enterprises are evaluating Canada's final decision and China Nonferrous Metals Industry has suggested the government should ask WTO to probe into the case.

On March 17, Canadian International Trade Tribunal will make a ruling over the damage. China expects an objective judgement and will actively take measures to protect legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese enterprises.

He said China is the second largest trade partner of Canada with a lot of common interests. They should settle trade friction through bilateral talks.
