On June 5, 2018, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced its affirmative final determination in the antidumping duty (AD) investigation of imports of stainless steel flanges from China. 

The DOC assigned a dumping rate of 257.11 percent to Shanxi Guanjiaying Flange Forging Group Co., Ltd.  This rate is based on adverse facts available due to the respondent’s failure to provide complete responses to certain sections of the DOC’s questionnaire. 

Additionally, the DOC determined a dumping rate of 257.11 percent for the China-wide entity, also based on adverse facts available.  The DOC determined that the mandatory respondents, Hydro-Fluids Controls Limited, Songhai Flange Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Dongtai QB Stainless Steel Co., Ltd., are not entitled to a separate rate, and assigned them the China-wide entity rate.

The petitioners are the Coalition of American Flange Producers and its individual members:  Core Pipe Products, Inc. (Carol Stream, IL) and Maass Flange Corporation (Houston, TX). 

Merchandise subject to the investigation is typically imported under headings 7307.21.1000 and 7307.21.5000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

In 2017, imports of stainless steel flanges from China were valued at an estimated $21.8 million.

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) is scheduled to make its final determination on or about July 19, 2018.
