SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On July 11, 2018, Commerce
published its final determination in the
countervailing duty investigation of soil
pipe fittings from China.1 On August 22,
2018, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determination, pursuant to section
705(d) of the Act, that an industry in the
United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of
subsidized imports of soil pipe fittings
from China.2

Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the
scope of 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 this 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.
Countervailing Duty Order
On August 22, 2018, in accordance
with section 705(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified Commerce of its final
determination in this investigation, in
which it found that imports of cast iron
soil pipe fittings are materially injuring
a U.S. industry. Therefore, in
accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the
Act, we are publishing this
countervailing duty order. In its
determination, the ITC found two
domestic like products covered by the
scope of the investigation: Drain bodies
and all other soil pipe fittings. The ITC
made a negative determination with
respect to drain bodies and an
Compliance, referencing ITC Investigation Nos.
701–TA–583 and 731–TA–1381, dated August 22,
2018.
