On 08/31/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register its amended final determination and antidumping duty order on cast iron soil pipe fittings from the People's Republic of China (83 FR 44570).
This message amends certain instructions pertaining to the final determination in this proceeding. See message 8233306, dated 08/21/2018.
2.
The merchandise covered by this order is cast iron soil pipe fittings, finished and unfinished, regardless of industry or proprietary specifications, and regardless of size.
Cast iron soil pipe fittings are nonmalleable iron castings of various designs and sizes, including, but not limited to, bends, tees, wyes, traps, drains (other than drain bodies), and other common or special fittings, with or without side inlets.
Cast iron soil pipe fittings are classified into two major types – hubless and hub and spigot.
Hubless cast iron soil pipe fittings are manufactured without a hub, generally in compliance with Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute (CISPI) specification 301 and/or American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification A888.
Hub and spigot pipe fittings have hubs into which the spigot (plain end) of the pipe or fitting is inserted.
Cast iron soil pipe fittings are generally distinguished from other types of nonmalleable cast iron fittings by the manner in which they are connected to cast iron soil pipe and other fittings.
Excluded from the scope are all drain bodies.
Drain bodies are normally classified in subheading 7326.90.86.88 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
The cast iron soil pipe fittings subject to the scope of this order are normally classified in subheading 7307.11.0045 of the HTSUS: Cast fittings of nonmalleable cast iron for cast iron soil pipe.
They may also be entered under HTSUS 7324.29.0000 and 7307.92.3010.
The HTSUS subheadings and specifications are provided for convenience and customs purposes only; the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.
