China Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results Nov. 23 of the antidumping duty administrative review on carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings from China (A-570-814). Commerce found the only company under review, Solidbend Fittings & Flanges Sdn. Bhd., had no shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. As such, the AD cash deposit rate for Solidbend will remain at the rate set for the company in the most recently completed proceeding (i.e., the original final determination or a prior administrative review).

Because Commerce found that Solidbend had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period under review, any suspended entries that entered under its antidumping duty case number during the period July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, will be assessed AD duties at the 182.9% China-wide rate, it said.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except Solidbend), cash deposit rates will also remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate applies.
(The review period is 07/01/18 - 06/30/19. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2004010029 for a summary of the preliminary results of this AD administrative review.
