As early as October 12, 2018, in response to an application submitted by domestic companies Encore Wire Corporation and SouthwireCompany, LLC on September 21, 2018, the US Department of Commerce announced that it had launched an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation into imports of aluminum wires and cables from China. On November 2, 2018, the (USITC) of the United States International Trade Commission voted to make a preliminary decision on anti-dumping and countervailing industrial damage to imports of aluminum wires and cables from China. According to US statistics, US imports from China totaled about $157.2 million in 2017.
The Commerce Department announced that the initial anti-dumping ruling on imports of aluminum wires and cables from China was about two months later than originally scheduled for March, mainly because of the shutdown of the US government at the beginning of the year. This case concerns products under the United States coordinated tariff number 8544.49.9000 and some products under 8544.42.9090.

Not long ago, the US Department of Commerce announced the initial countervailing of (Aluminum Wire and Cable) imports of aluminum wires and cables from China.

(Shanghai Silin Special Equipment Co., Ltd.) was 15.77%, and that of Changfeng Cable Co., Ltd. (Changfeng Wire & Cable Co., Ltd.) was 11.57%. The subsidy rate for Shanghai YangPu Qu Gong is 164.16 per cent, while that for other producers and exporters is 13.67 per cent. The Commerce Department is expected to announce the final ruling on August 13, 2019. This case concerns the United States coordinated tariff No. 8544.49.9000 and some of the products under 8544.42.9090.
In the long run, domestic demand in the aluminum cable industry is on a downward trend, although in years when power infrastructure is more concentrated, the output of the aluminum cable industry will pick up. However, because most of the rural power network transformation and cross-provincial transmission projects in China have been completed and are in the leading level in the world, if the cable industry wants to achieve long-term development, export has become a way for more enterprises to survive. According to the statistics of China's customs data, the proportion of aluminum cables exported to the United States is about 3% to 5%, with the exception of the US market. In the past two years, Chinese cable enterprises have increased their cable exports to "Belt and Road Initiative" countries and African countries. The United States has launched a "double reverse" investigation, which will deal a further blow to cable companies that are already struggling, but can make up for some of the losses by exporting to other countries.
