Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Order and Countervailing Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order and countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on cast iron soil pipe 

fittings (soil pipe fittings) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, countervailable 

subsidies, and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, 

Commerce is publishing a notice of 

continuation of the AD and CVD orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 31, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD order and CVD order on soil pipe 

fittings from China.1 On July 3, 2023, 

the ITC instituted 2 and Commerce 

initiated 3 the first five-year (sunset) 

reviews of the Orders, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a 

result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and subsidy rates likely to prevail 

should the Orders be revoked.4

On December 28, 2023, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

Orders 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, 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 subject imports 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 these Orders is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Orders. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be December 28, 

2023.6 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce intends to initiate 

the next five-year reviews of these 

Orders not later than 30 days prior to 

the fifth anniversary of the effective date 

of continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published in accordance with 777(i) 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
