On 08/12/2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register its antidumping duty (AD) order on certain brake drums (brake drums) from the People's Republic of China (China) (90 FR 38730). 4. Effective 01/29/2025, Commerce established third-country case numbers to accommodate entries of brake drums from China assembled in Mexico (see message number 5041405, dated 02/10/2025). Consequently, brake drums from China assembled in Mexico and subsequently exported to United States are considered subject to the AD order on brake drums from China. 5. The merchandise covered by this order is certain brake drums made of gray cast iron, whether finished or unfinished, with an actual or nominal inside diameter of 14.75 inches or more but not over 16.6 inches, weighing more than 50 pounds. Unfinished brake drums are those which have undergone some turning or machining but are not ready for installation. Subject brake drums are included within the scope whether imported individually or with non-subject merchandise (for example, a hub), whether assembled or unassembled, or if joined with non-subject merchandise. When a subject drum is imported together with non-subject merchandise, such as, but not limited to, a drum-hub assembly, only the subject drum is covered by the scope. Subject merchandise also includes finished and unfinished brake drums that are further processed in a third country or in the United States, including, but not limited to, assembly or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of this order if performed in the country of manufacture of the subject brake drums. The inclusion, attachment, joining, or assembly of non-subject merchandise with subject drums either in the country of manufacture of the subject drum or in a third country does not remove the subject drum from the scope. Specifically excluded is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from the People's Republic of China. See Certain Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 36093 (July 8, 2021) and Certain Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 24844 (May 10, 2021). The scope also excludes composite brake drums that contain more than 38 percent steel by weight. The merchandise covered by this order is classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 8708.30.5020. The merchandise covered by this order may be classifiable under HTSUS subheading 8708.30.5090 when entered as part of an assembly. Subject merchandise may also enter under HTSUS subheading 8716.90.5060, 8704.10, 8704.23.01, 8704.32.01, 8704.43.00, 8704.52.00, 8704.60.00, 8708.50.61, 8708.50.6500, 8716.90.5010, 8716.31.00, 8716.39.00, 8716.40.00.
