China Forged Steel Fittings: Final Results of AD/CVD Admin Reviews
The Commerce Department issued the final results of its antidumping and countervailing duty administrative reviews on forged steel fittings from China (A-570-067/C-570-068). The agency calculated a zero percent AD duty rate, and a CV duty rate of 13.48% for Both-Well (Taizhou) Steel Fittings Co., Ltd., the only company remaining under review in both proceedings. Commerce will not assess AD duties on subject merchandise from Both-Well entered Nov. 1, 2019, through Oct. 31, 2020, and will use the rate set in this review to assess CV duties on importers of subject merchandise from Both-Well during calendar year 2019. A zero percent AD duty cash deposit rate and a 13.48% CV duty cash deposit rate for Both-Well take effect June 10, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register.

For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except Both-Well), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the 142.72% China-wide rate applies for AD duty purposes, and the all-others rate applies for CV duty purposes.
(The period of investigation is 11/01/19 - 10/31/20 for the AD duty review, and 01/01/19 through 12/31/19 for the CV duty review. See Commerce’s notice for more information, including the scope of the investigation, detailed instructions on cash deposit rates, etc. See 2112060027 for a summary of the preliminary results of these reviews.)
