The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) today determined that a US industry is materially injured by reason of imports of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, and Switzerland that the US Department of Commerce (DOC) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value.
Vice Chairman David S. Johanson, and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson and Meredith M. Broadbent voted in the affirmative. Chairman Rhonda K. Schmidtlein and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns did not participate in the votes.
As a result of the ITC’s affirmative determinations, the DOC will issue antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from China, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, and Switzerland.
The DOC also made negative findings concerning critical circumstances with regard to imports of this product from China, Italy, and Korea. As a result, imports of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China, Italy, and Korea will not be subject to retroactive antidumping duties.
