As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping (AD)
and countervailing duty (CVD) orders
on steel grating from the People’s
Republic of China (China) would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, net countervailable subsidies,
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, Commerce is publishing
a notice of continuation of these AD and
CVD orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
On July 23, 2010, Commerce
published both the AD and CVD orders
on steel grating from China.1 On
October 1, 2020, the ITC instituted,2 and
on Commerce initiated,3 the second
five-year (sunset) reviews of the AD and
CVD orders on steel grating from China,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As
a result of its reviews, Commerce
determined that revocation of the
Orders on steel grating from China
would be likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and
countervailable subsidies and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins and net subsidy rates likely to
prevail should the Orders be revoked.4

On May 24, 2021, the ITC published
its determinations, pursuant to sections
751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that
revocation of the Orders would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.5
Scope of the Orders
The product covered by these Orders
is certain steel grating, consisting of two
or more pieces of steel, including loadbearing pieces and cross pieces, joined
by any assembly process, regardless of:
(1) Size or shape; (2) method of
manufacture; (3) metallurgy (carbon,
alloy, or stainless); (4) the profile of the
bars; and (5) whether or not they are
galvanized, painted, coated, clad or
plated. Steel grating is also commonly
referred to as ‘‘bar grating,’’ although the
components may consist of steel other
than bars, such as hot-rolled sheet,
plate, or wire rod.
The scope of these Orders excludes
expanded metal grating, which is
comprised of a single piece or coil of
sheet or thin plate steel that has been
slit and expanded, and does not involve
welding or joining of multiple pieces of
steel. The scope of these Orders also
excludes plank type safety grating
which is comprised of a single piece or
coil of sheet or thin plate steel, typically
in thickness of 10 to 18 gauge, that has
been pierced and cold formed, and does
not involve welding or joining of
multiple pieces of steel.
Certain steel grating that is the subject
of these Orders is currently classifiable
in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) under
subheading 7308.90.7000. While the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
Orders is dispositive.
