INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1362-1367 (Final)]


Cold-Drawn Mechanical Tubing from China, Germany, India, Italy, 
Korea, and Switzerland

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 cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China, Germany, 
India, Italy, Korea, and Switzerland, provided for in subheadings 
7304.31.30, 7304.31.60, 7304.51.10, 7304.51.50, 7306.30.50, and 
7306.50.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
have been found by the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold 
in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').^{2 3}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ Chairman Rhonda K. Schmidtlein did not vote in these 
antidumping duty investigations and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns did 
not participate in these investigations.
    \3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
orders on cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China, Italy, and Korea.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective April 19, 2017, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by ArcelorMittal Tubular Products, Shelby, Ohio; Michigan Seamless 
Tube, LLC, South Lyon, Michigan; PTC Alliance Corp., Wexford, 
Pennsylvania; Webco Industries, Inc., Sand Springs, Oklahoma; and 
Zekelman Industries, Inc., Farrell, Pennsylvania. Effective September 
25, 2017, the Commission established a general schedule for the conduct 
of the final phase of its investigations on cold-drawn mechanical 
tubing, following preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports 
of the subject cold-drawn mechanical tubing were subsidized by the 
governments of China and India. 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, 2017 (82 FR 46522). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on December 6, 2017, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel. Following notification of 
final determinations by Commerce that imports of cold-drawn mechanical 
tubing from China, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, and Switzerland were 
being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final 
phase of the Commission's antidumping duty investigations 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 April 23, 2018 (83 FR 17674).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on May 31, 2018. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4790 (May 2018), 
entitled Cold-Drawn Mechanical Tubing from China, Germany, India, 
Italy, Korea, and Switzerland: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1362-1367 
(Final).
