Don’t Get Hit By Chinese Aluminium Decking Imports Levy, AliDeck Competitors Raising Their Prices

It is only a few days into the new year but we have been struck by the number of enquiries we have had this week from contractors, fabricators, and developers looking for urgent new quotes with extremely short lead times.

The reason for these urgently required quotes we’re told is that our competitors who have previously quoted for these projects have suddenly hiked their prices by up to 15%!

Many of our competitors rely on importing their entire range of products from China. The European Commission recently required EU member states to begin to register imports of aluminium extrusions from China in order to be able to retroactively apply tariffs once the Commission had completed its Anti-Dumping Investigation.

The UK has left the EU, and the transition period ended on 31^st December 2020. However, the European Commission regulation requiring registration of Chinese extrusion imports has been carried over to UK legislation and therefore applies in the UK.

This has increased costs for our competitors, and they have clearly begun to pass those costs to their customers.

AliDeck only extrudes and manufactures our products in the UK. We do not import any of our products from China, or from anywhere else in the world and our customers will therefore never find their quotes changed to mitigate incurred import duties.

By receiving a quote from AliDeck for your aluminium decking, soffit cladding, or balustrade requirements, you are investing in peace-of-mind that the price you receive is fair and stable, and that your order will be produced and manufactured wholly within the UK.

If you are concerned about any quotes you currently have live with our competitors, contact the AliDeck team on 01622 235 672 today to request our quote for your project, and to secure the stability and price guarantee that your business needs.
