On August 22, 2023, the Commission 

found RDJ and Trek in default. Order 

No. 19 (Jul. 21, 2023), unreviewed by 

Notice (Aug. 22, 2023). On October 6, 

2023, Extang and BAK (‘‘Movants’’) 

filed a motion for a summary 

determination of violation with respect 

to claims 2–4 of the ’758 patent and 

claims 1–3 of the ’788 patent, and 

requested the entry of a GEO, the entry 

of CDOs against RDJ and Trek, and the 

imposition of a bond rate of 100 percent 

of the entered value of infringing 

articles imported during the period of 

Presidential review. On October 27, 

2023, OUII filed a response in support 

of the motion and the requested 

remedial relief. 

On April 23, 2024, the ALJ issued an 

initial determination (Order No. 33) 

(‘‘ID’’) granting the Movants’ motion for 

summary determination of violation and 

included a recommended determination 

on remedy and bond (‘‘RD’’) 

recommending issuance of a GEO, the 

issuance of CDOs against RDJ and Trek, 

and the imposition of a bond in the 

amount of 100 percent of the entered 

value of infringing products during the 

period of Presidential review. 

Specifically, the ID finds that: (1) the 

importation requirement is satisfied; (2) 

all of the remaining asserted claims are 

infringed by RDJ’s and Trek’s products; 

and (3) Movants have satisfied the 

domestic industry requirement with 

respect to the ’758 and ’788 patents. In 

support of its recommendation for 

issuance of a GEO, the RD finds that: (1) 

a GEO is necessary in this investigation 

to prevent circumvention of a limited 

exclusion order and (2) the record 

shows a pattern of violation of section 

337 through importation of articles that 

infringe the ’758 and ’788 patents, and

3Commissioner David S. Johanson dissenting. 

the source of those infringing articles is 

difficult to identify. No party petitioned 

for review of the ID. 

On June 7, 2024, the Commission 

determined not to review the ID and 

sought briefing on remedy, the public 

interest, and bonding. 89 FR 50370–72 

(Jun. 13, 2024). On June 21, 2024, the 

Commission received initial responses 

from the Movants and OUII. On June 24, 

2024, the Commission received a 

response from non-party Rough Country 

LLC. On June 28, 2024, the Commission 

received reply responses from OUII. 

Having reviewed the written 

submissions and the evidentiary record, 

the Commission has determined that the 

appropriate remedy in this investigation 

is a GEO prohibiting the unlicensed 

importation of certain pick-up truck 

folding bed cover systems and 

components thereof that infringe claims 

2–4 of the ’758 patent and claims 1–3 

of the ’788 patent and CDOs against RDJ 

and Trek with respect to those claims. 

The Commission has further determined 

that the public interest factors 

enumerated in section 337(d), (f), and 

(g) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d), (f), and (g)) do not 

preclude issuance of the GEO or CDOs. 

Finally, the Commission has determined 

to impose a bond in the amount of one 

hundred (100) percent of the entered 

value of the infringing articles that are 

imported during the period of 

Presidential review (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)). 

The investigation is hereby terminated 

in its entirety. 

The Commission’s order and opinion 

were delivered to the President and to 

the United States Trade Representative 

on the day of their issuance. The 

Commission has also notified the 

Secretary of the Treasury and Customs 

and Border Protection of the order. 

The Commission vote for these 

determinations took place on September 

19, 2024. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 

210 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 

210).

COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–687 and 731– 

TA–1614 (Final)] 

Brass Rod From Israel 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of brass rod from Israel, provided for in 

subheadings 7407.21.15, 7407.21.30, 

7407.21.70, and 7407.21.90 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that have been found by 

the U.S. Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in the United 

States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’) 

and subsidized by the government of 

Israel.2 3

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

investigations effective April 27, 2023, 

following receipt of petitions filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by 

American Brass Rod Fair Trade 

Coalition, Washington, District of 

Columbia; Mueller Brass Co., Port 

Huron, Michigan; and Wieland Chase 

LLC, Montpelier, Ohio. The 

Commission scheduled the final phase 

of the investigations following 

notification of a preliminary 

determination by Commerce that 

imports of brass rod from India were 

subsidized within the meaning of 

section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of 

the final phase of the Commission’s 

investigations and of a public hearing to 

be held in connection therewith was 

given by posting copies of the notice in 

the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

International Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC, and by publishing the 

notice in the Federal Register of 

October 5, 2023 (88 FR 6922). The 

Commission conducted its hearing on 

December 12, 2023. All persons who 

requested the opportunity were 

permitted to participate. 

The investigation schedules became 

staggered when Commerce did not align 

its countervailing duty investigation 

regarding India with its antidumping 

duty investigation regarding India, and 

reached an earlier final countervailing 

duty determination. On February 1, 

2024, the Commission issued a final 

affirmative determination in its 

countervailing duty investigation of 

brass rod from India (89 FR 8440, 

February 7, 2024). On June 5, 2024, the 

Commission issued final affirmative 

determinations in its countervailing 

duty investigation of brass rod from 

South Korea and its antidumping duty 

investigations of brass rod from Brazil, 

India, Mexico, South Africa, and South 

Korea (89 FR 49193, June 11, 2024). The 

investigation schedules became further 

staggered when Commerce aligned its 

countervailing duty investigation 

regarding Israel with its antidumping 

duty investigation regarding Israel and 

tolled all deadlines for its antidumping 

duty investigation regarding Israel by 90 

days. 

Following notification of final 

determinations by Commerce that 

imports of brass rod from Israel were 

being sold at LTFV within the meaning 

of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1673d(a)) and were being subsidized by 

the government of Israel within the 

meaning of section 705(a) of the Act (19 

U.S.C. 1671d(a)), notice of the 

supplemental scheduling of the final 

phase of the Commission’s antidumping 

duty and countervailing duty 

investigations regarding brass rod from 

Israel was given by posting copies of the 

notice in the Office of the Secretary, 

U.S. International Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC, and by publishing the 

notice in the Federal Register of August 

16, 2024 (89 FR 66738). 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to § 705(b) and 

§ 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) 

and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed 

and filed its determinations in these 

investigations on September 19, 2024. 

The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 5545 

(September 2024), entitled Brass Rod 

from Israel: Investigation Nos. 701–TA– 

687 and 731–TA–1614 (Final).
