Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by the 

investigation is vanillin, with the molecular 

formula C8H8O3 or C9H10O3. For purposes of 

this investigation, vanillin consists of natural 

vanillin, synthetic vanillin, bio-sourced 

synthetic vanillin (biovanillin) (each also 

known as 4-Hydroxy-3- 

methoxybenzaldehyde), and ethylvanillin 

(also known as 3-Ethoxy-4- 

hydroxybenzaldehyde). Vanillin covered by 

this investigation is a chemical compound 

with the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

number 121–33–5 or 121–32–4. Vanillin is 

covered by the investigation regardless of 

whether it is in a crystalline powder or 

crystal form. Vanillin is covered by the scope 

of the investigation, irrespective of purity, 

particle size, or physical form. 

Merchandise subject to the investigation is 

specified within the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under 

subheading 2912.41.0000 and 2912.42.0000.

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) order on non-malleable cast iron 

pipe fittings (pipe fittings) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing a notice 

of continuation of the AD order. 

DATES: Applicable January 16, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 7, 2003, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD order on pipe fittings from China.1

On June 3, 2024, the ITC instituted,2

and Commerce initiated,3 the fourth 

sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). As a result of its 

review, Commerce determined that 

revocation of the AD Order would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping, and therefore, notified the ITC 

of the magnitude of the margins of 

dumping rates likely to prevail should 

the Order be revoked.4

On January 10, 2025, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

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

that revocation of the Order 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 Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

are finished and unfinished nonmalleable cast iron pipe fittings. See the 

appendix to this notice for the full scope 

of the Order. 

Continuation of the Order on NonMalleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings From 

China 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

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 Order. U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection will continue to 

collect AD 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 Order 

will be January 10, 2025.6 Pursuant to 

section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to 

initiate the next sunset review of the 

Order not later than 30 days prior to the 

fifth anniversary of the effective date of 

this continuation. 

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 

with this request is a violation of the 

APO which may be subject to sanctions. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This five-year sunset review and this 

notice are in accordance with sections 

751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and this 

notice is published pursuant to section 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4). 

Dated: January 10, 2025.

Appendix 

The merchandise subject of the Order are 

finished and unfinished non-malleable cast 

iron pipe fittings with an inside diameter 

ranging from 1⁄4 inch to 6 inches, whether 

threaded or unthreaded, regardless of 

industry or proprietary specifications. The 

subject fittings include elbows, ells, tees, 

crosses, and reducers as well as flanged 

fittings. These pipe fittings are also known as 

‘‘cast iron pipe fittings’’ or ‘‘gray iron pipe 

fittings.’’ These cast iron pipe fittings are 

normally produced to ASTM A–126 and 

ASME B.16.4 specifications and are threaded 

to ASME B1.20.1 specifications. Most 

building codes require that these products 

are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certified. 

The scope does not include cast iron soil 

pipe fittings or grooved fittings or grooved 

couplings. Also, certain brake fluid tube 

connectors are excluded from the scope of

7See Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings From 

The People’s Republic of China: Continuation of 

Antidumping Duty Order, 79 FR 8437 (February 12, 

2014). To be excluded, the connector must meet the 

following description: The connector is a ’’joint 

block’’ for brake fluid tubes and is made of nonmalleable cast iron to Society of Automotive 

Engineers (SAE) automotive standard J431. The 

tubes have an inside diameter of 3.44 millimeters 

(0.1355 inches) and the inside diameters of the fluid 

flow channels of the connector are 3.2 millimeters 

(0.1260 inches) and 3.8 millimeters (0.1496 inches). 

The end of the tube is forced by pressure over the 

end of a flared opening in the connector also known 

as ‘‘flared joint.’’ The flared joint, once made fast, 

permits brake fluid to flow through channels that 

never exceed 3.8 millimeters (0.1496 inches) in 

diameter. 

the Order.7 Commerce did not include the 

certain brake fluid tube connectors exclusion 

scope language in the 2019 continuation 

notice. 

Fittings that are made out of ductile iron 

that have the same physical characteristics as 

the gray or cast iron fittings subject to the 

scope above or which have the same physical 

characteristics and are produced to ASME 

B.16.3, ASME B.16.4, or ASTM A–395 

specifications, threaded to ASME B1.20.1 

specifications and UL certified, regardless of 

metallurgical differences between gray and 

ductile iron, are also included in the scope 

of the Order. These ductile fittings do not 

include grooved fittings or grooved 

couplings. Ductile cast iron fittings with 

mechanical joint ends (MJ), or push on ends 

(PO), or flanged ends and produced to 

American Water Works Association (AWWA) 

specifications AWWA C110 or AWWA C153 

are not included. Imports of covered 

merchandise are classifiable in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS) under item numbers 

7307.11.00.30, 7307.11.00.60, 7307.19.30.60 

and 7307.19.30.85. HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes. The written description of the 

scope of the Order is dispositive.
