Cast Iron Soil Pipe From the People’s 

Republic of China: Continuation of 

Antidumping 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) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on cast iron soil pipe from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would likely lead to the 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 October 24, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 3, 2019, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register the AD and CVD 

orders on cast iron soil pipe from 

China.1 On April 1, 2024, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the first sunset reviews of the AD Order 

and the CVD Order, 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 AD Order and CVD 

Order would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and 

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 AD Order 4 and CVD 

Order 5 be revoked. 

On October 24, 2024, the ITC 

published its determinations, pursuant 

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

that revocation of the AD Order and 

CVD Order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.6

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders is cast iron soil pipe, whether 

finished or unfinished, regardless of 

industry or proprietary specifications, 

and regardless of wall thickness, length, 

diameter, surface finish, end finish, or 

stenciling. The scope of these Orders 

includes, but is not limited to, both 

hubless and hub and spigot cast iron 

soil pipe. Cast iron soil pipe is 

nonmalleable iron pipe of various 

designs and sizes. Cast iron soil pipe is 

generally distinguished from other types 

of nonmalleable cast iron pipe by the 

manner in which it is connected to cast 

iron soil pipe fittings. 

Cast iron soil pipe is classified into 

two major types—hubless and hub and 

spigot. Hubless cast iron soil pipe is 

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, 

including any revisions to those 

specifications. Hub and spigot pipe has 

one or more hubs into which the spigot 

(plain end) of a fitting is inserted. All 

pipe meeting the physical description 

set forth above is covered by the scope 

of these Orders, whether or not 

produced according to a particular 

standard. 

The subject imports are currently 

classified in subheading 7303.00.0030 of 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS): Cast iron soil 

pipe. The HTSUS subheading 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 AD Order and CVD Order would 

likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, countervailable 

subsidies, and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, pursuant 

to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.218(a), 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 October 24, 2024.7

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of the Orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return, destruction, or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

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

Timely written notification of the return 

or destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply is 

a violation of the APO which may be 

subject to sanctions. 

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 

section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).

Postponement of Preliminary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 9, 2024, the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation 

of imports of large top mount 

combination refrigerator-freezers 

(refrigerators) from Thailand.1 On July 

22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.2 Currently, 

the preliminary determination is due no 

later than December 3, 2024. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 190 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) the petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On November 1, 2024, Electrolux 

Consumer Products, Inc. (the petitioner) 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determination in the LTFV 

investigation.3 The petitioner stated that 

it requests postponement, ‘‘so that 

{Commerce} will have sufficient time to 

collect and analyze information 

necessary for calculating accurate 

dumping margins. An extension of the 

deadline for {Commerce’s} preliminary 

{determination} is necessary and 

appropriate here given the numerous 

extensions of time that have been 

requested by the respondent. An 

extension of the deadline for the 

preliminary determination will allow 

{the p}etitioner sufficient time to 

comment on these responses and will 

allow {Commerce} adequate time to 

issue supplemental questionnaires and 

to conduct a thorough analysis in this 

investigation.’’ 4
