On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject five-year reviews, the 

United States International Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the 

countervailing duty order on forged 

steel fittings from China and the 

antidumping duty orders on forged steel 

fittings from China, Italy, and Taiwan 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.2

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

reviews on August 1, 2023 (88 FR 

50172) and determined on November 6, 

2023 that it would conduct expedited 

reviews (88 FR 84361, December 5, 

2023). 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It 

completed and filed its determinations 

in these reviews on January 26, 2024.
