Refillable Stainless-Steel Kegs From 

Mexico and the People’s Republic of 

China: Final Results of Sunset 

Reviews and Revocation of Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On September 3, 2024, the 

U.S. Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) initiated the first sunset 

review of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order on refillable stainless-steel kegs 

(kegs) from Mexico and the AD and 

countervailing duty (CVD) orders on 

kegs from the People’s Republic of 

China (China). Because no domestic 

interested party responded to the sunset 

review notice of initiation by the 

applicable deadline, consistent with 

section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce 

is revoking the AD orders on kegs from 

China and Mexico and the CVD order on 

kegs from China. 

DATES: Applicable November 21, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 10, 2019, Commerce 

issued the AD order on kegs from 

Mexico.1 On December 16, 2019, 

Commerce issued the AD and CVD 

orders on kegs from China.2 On 

September 3, 2024, Commerce initiated 

the current sunset reviews of the China 

Orders and Mexico Order (collectively, 

Orders), pursuant to section 751(c) of 

the Act).3

On September 24, 2024, Commerce 

staff spoke with counsel to the 

American Keg Company LLC (the 

petitioner) who informed Commerce 

that the petitioner does not intend to 

participate in these sunset reviews.4 As 

a result, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(1), Commerce 

determined that no domestic interested 

party intends to participate in these 

sunset reviews. On September 25, 2024, 

we notified the U.S. International Trade 

Commission of these facts and that we 

intended to revoke the Orders within 90 

days of the initiation, consistent with 19 

CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders are kegs, vessels, or containers 

with bodies that are approximately 

cylindrical in shape, made from 

stainless steel (i.e., steel containing at 

least 10.5 percent chromium by weight 

and less than 1.2 percent carbon by 

weight, with or without other elements), 

and that are compatible with a ‘‘D 

Sankey’’ extractor (refillable stainless 

steel kegs) with a nominal liquid 

volume capacity of 10 liters or more, 

regardless of the type of finish, gauge, 

thickness, or grade of stainless steel, and 

whether or not covered by or encased in 

other materials. Refillable stainless-steel 

kegs may be imported assembled or 

unassembled, with or without all 

components (including spears, couplers 

or taps, necks, collars, and valves), and 

be filled or unfilled. 

‘‘Unassembled’’ or ‘‘unfinished’’ 

refillable stainless-steel kegs include 

drawn stainless-steel cylinders that have 

been welded to form the body of the keg 

and attached to an upper (top) chime 

and/or lower (bottom) chime. 

Unassembled refillable stainless-steel 

kegs may or may not be welded to a 

neck, may or may not have a valve 

assembly attached, and may be 

otherwise complete except for testing, 

certification, and/or marking. 

Subject merchandise also includes 

refillable stainless steel kegs that have 

been further processed in a third 

country, including but not limited to, 

attachment of necks, collars, spears or 

valves, heat treatment, pickling, 

passivation, painting, testing, 

certification or any other processing that 

would not otherwise remove the 

merchandise from the scope of the 

Orders if performed in the country of 

manufacture of the in-scope refillable 

stainless steel keg. 

Specifically excluded are the 

following: 

(1) vessels or containers that are not 

approximately cylindrical in nature 

(e.g., box, ‘‘hopper’’ or ‘‘cone’’ shaped 

vessels); 

(2) stainless steel kegs, vessels, or 

containers that have either a ‘‘ball lock’’ 

valve system or a ‘‘pin lock’’ valve 

system (commonly known as 

‘‘Cornelius,’’ ‘‘corny’’ or ‘‘ball lock’’ 

kegs); 

(3) necks, spears, couplers or taps, 

collars, and valves that are not imported 

with the subject merchandise; and 

(4) stainless steel kegs that are filled 

with beer, wine, or other liquid and that 

are designated by the Commissioner of 

Customs as Instruments of International 

Traffic within the meaning of section 

332(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended. 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders are currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) under 

subheadings 7310.10.0010, 

7310.10.0050, 7310.29.0025, and 

7310.29.0050. These HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes; the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive. 

Revocation 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), 

if no domestic interested party responds 

to a notice of initiation, Commerce 

shall, within 90 days after the initiation 

of review, revoke the order. Because the 

petitioner informed Commerce that it 

did not intend to participate in these 

sunset reviews, we are revoking the 

Orders.6

Effective Date of Revocation 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), 

Commerce intends to instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

of the merchandise subject to these 

Orders entered, or withdrawn from the 

warehouse, on or after October 10, 2024, 

the fifth anniversary of the date of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 21, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of U.S. imports of 

hexamethylenetetramine from China 

and India.1 Currently, the preliminary 

determinations in these investigations 

are due no later than December 26, 

2024. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a CVD investigation 

within 65 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination in a CVD 

investigation until no later than 130 

days after the date on which Commerce 

initiated the investigation if: (A) the 

petitioner makes a timely request for an 

extension of the period within which 

the determination must be made; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make the 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 14 and 15, 2024, 

Bakelite LLC, the petitioner in these 

investigations, timely requested that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in the investigations.2

The petitioner requested postponement 

of the preliminary determinations in the 

investigations so that Commerce can 

fully analyze the forthcoming 

questionnaire responses of the 

mandatory respondents and issue 

supplemental questionnaires, as 

necessary.3

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner submitted its 

request for postponement of the 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations 25 days or more before 

the scheduled date of the preliminary 

determinations and stated the reasons 

for its requests. Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the requests. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations to no later than 130 days 

after the date on which it initiated the 

investigations, i.e., February 28, 2025. 

Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 

deadline for the final determinations in 

the investigations will continue to be 75 

days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
