(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant
to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’),
that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports

China, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, and
Switzerland, provided for in
subheadings 7304.31.30, 7304.31.60,

Schedule of the United States, that have
been found by the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in
the United States at less than fair value
(‘‘LTFV’’).2 3
Background
The Commission, pursuant to section
735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)),
instituted these investigations effective
April 19, 2017, following receipt of a
petition filed with the Commission and
Commerce by ArcelorMittal Tubular
Products, Shelby, Ohio; Michigan
Seamless Tube, LLC, South Lyon,
Michigan; PTC Alliance Corp., Wexford,
Pennsylvania; Webco Industries, Inc.,
Sand Springs, Oklahoma; and Zekelman
Industries, Inc., Farrell, Pennsylvania.
Effective September 25, 2017, the
Commission established a general
schedule for the conduct of the final
phase of its investigations on colddrawn mechanical tubing, following
preliminary determinations by
Commerce that imports of the subject
cold-drawn mechanical tubing were
subsidized by the governments of China
and India. Notice of the scheduling of
the final phase of the Commission’s
investigations and of a public hearing to
be held in connection therewith was
given by posting copies of the notice in
the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of
October 5, 2017 (82 FR 46522). The
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on
December 6, 2017, and all persons who
requested the opportunity were
permitted to appear in person or by
counsel. Following notification of final
determinations by Commerce that
imports of cold-drawn mechanical
tubing from China, Germany, India,
Italy, Korea, and Switzerland were being
sold at LTFV within the meaning of
section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
2 Chairman Rhonda K. Schmidtlein did not vote
in these antidumping duty investigations and
Commissioner Jason E. Kearns did not participate
in these investigations.
3 The Commission also finds that imports subject
to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances
determinations are not likely to undermine
seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping
duty orders on cold-drawn mechanical tubing from
China, Italy, and Korea.
