Israel will implement a tariff rate as high as 146 percent on Chinese aluminum imports entering the country.

In July 2024, the Israeli government launched an investigation into evidence that 25 Chinese companies were flooding their domestic market with artificially cheap aluminum products and putting Israeli producers at a disadvantage. Officials declined to wait for the report’s conclusion and proceeded with anti-dumping levies.
