The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has revised its antidumping (AD) duty margin calculation for finished and unfinished tapered roller bearings and parts imported by Peer Bearing Company (CPZ), based in Changshan, China, to 24.62 percent.
Following an evaluation period from June 1, 2007, through May 31, 2008, the DOC on July 08, 2009 had announced the margin for CPZ as 32.02 percent. The DOC revised this rate following submissions of comments from petitioner Timken Company and respondent CPZ.
The DOC's decision indicates the imports covered by the order as: "Shipments of tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from the PRC; flange, take up cartridge, and hanger units incorporating tapered roller bearings; and tapered roller housings (except pillow blocks) incorporating tapered rollers, with or without spindles, whether or not for automotive use."
These products are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers 8482.20.00, 8482.91.00.50, 8482.99.15, 8482.99.45, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80, 8483.30.80, 8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 8483.90.80, 8708.99.80.15 and 8708.99.80.80.
