of Carbon and Alloy Steel From 

Germany, India, Italy, the People’s 

Republic of China, the Republic of 

Korea, and Switzerland: Continuation 

of Antidumping Duty Orders and 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

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) orders on certain cold-drawn 

mechanical tubing of carbon and alloy 

steel (cold-drawn mechanical tubing) 

from the Federal Republic of Germany 

(Germany), India, Italy, the People’s 

Republic of China (China), the Republic 

of Korea (Korea), and Switzerland, and 

the countervailing duty (CVD) orders on 

cold-drawn mechanical tubing from 

India and 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 these AD and CVD 

orders. 

DATES: Applicable February 14, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 1, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

CVD orders on cold-drawn mechanical 

tubing from India and China, and on 

June 11, 2018, Commerce published in 

the Federal Register and the AD orders 

on cold-drawn mechanical tubing from 

Germany, India, Italy, China, Korea, and 

Switzerland.1 On January 3, 2023, the 

ITC instituted,2 and Commerce 

initiated,3 the first sunset review of the 

Orders, 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 would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and/or countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and net countervailable subsidy rates 

likely to prevail should the Orders be 

revoked.4

On February 14, 2024, 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 continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of the Orders covers colddrawn mechanical tubing of circular 

cross-section, 304.8 mm or more in 

length, in actual outside diameters less 

than 331 mm, and regardless of wall 

thickness, surface finish, end finish or 

industry specification. The subject colddrawn mechanical tubing is a tubular 

product with a circular cross-sectional 

shape that has been cold-drawn or 

otherwise cold-finished after the initial 

tube formation in a manner that 

involves a change in the diameter or 

wall thickness of the tubing, or both. 

The subject cold-drawn mechanical 

tubing may be produced from either 

welded (e.g., electric resistance welded, 

continuous welded, etc.) or seamless

(e.g., pierced, pilgered or extruded, etc.) 

carbon or alloy steel tubular products. It 

may also be heat treated after cold 

working. Such heat treatments may 

include, but are not limited to, 

annealing, normalizing, quenching and 

tempering, stress relieving or finish 

annealing. Typical cold-drawing 

methods for subject merchandise 

include, but are not limited to, drawing 

over mandrel, rod drawing, plug 

drawing, sink drawing and similar 

processes that involve reducing the 

outside diameter of the tubing with a 

die or similar device, whether or not 

controlling the inside diameter of the 

tubing with an internal support device 

such as a mandrel, rod, plug or similar 

device. Other cold-finishing operations 

that may be used to produce subject 

merchandise include cold-rolling and 

cold-sizing the tubing. 

Subject cold-drawn mechanical 

tubing is typically certified to meet 

industry specifications for cold-drawn 

tubing including but not limited to: 

(1) American Society for Testing and 

Materials (ASTM) or American Society of 

Mechanical Engineers (ASME) specifications
