The products of concern are known as cast steel check valves which operate without any outside

influence. Check valves pass flow through the valve in one direction with little to no resistance

and "check" (or prevent) flow reversal with minimal leakage. Common industries where these

valves are utilized include oil, gas and power. Additional information including technical

specifications from Bonney Forge's catalog are appended to this document.

 As an initial matter, Bonney Forge does not believe that cast steel check valves are

manufactured in the United States. The last domestic producer of these products shut down many

years ago, and re-starting domestic production would require significant time and funds in light of

the need to make patterns for casting and other issues. Consequently, imposing additional duties on

imports of these products from China will increase costs for consuming industries but not offer any

benefit to U.S. manufacturers.

 In addition, Bonney Forge manufactures these products at its wholly-owned subsidiary,

Bonney Forge Shanghai ("BFS"), which does not benefit from the Made in China 2025 policy or

other subsidy programs. The focus of Made in China 2025 is on industries like information

technology, aviation, rail, new energy vehicles, and agricultural vehicles, and the plan has no

implications for cast check steel valves. Thus, the imposition of duties would not serve as an

effective counter to Chinese industrial policies and subsidization, and would not have any practical

effect on the policies USTR wishes to address.

 Bonney Forge makes cast steel check valves in China because the product traditionally has a low

profit margin but, when combined with products we make in the United States, rounds out our

product catalog. Domestic end users typically evaluate bids in an overall manner, and if we are

unable to economically source this product from our wholly-owned subsidiary in China, we will be

at a disadvantage relative to competitors sourcing their entire product line from countries like India

and South Korea. Because domestic end users evaluate bids in an overall manner, additional tariffs

would negatively impact our overall bid offers, therefore, negatively impacting Bonney Forge's

domestic manufacturing facilities as well. Thus, the imposition of additional duties on this product

would cause disproportionate harm to Bonney Forge while not encouraging the GOC to engage in

any reforms, and only serve to benefit producers outside the United States.
