Final Scope Rulings
India
A-533-877 and C-533-878: Stainless Steel Flanges From India
Requestor:
Pradeep Metals Limited, Inc. (Pradeep). Precision-machined stainless steel ring-shaped components imported by Pradeep are preliminarily found to be within the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders under a (k)(2) analysis. Pradeep's products have essential physical characteristics articulated in the scope. The record indicates that ultimate users of both Pradeep's products and standard flanges expect components to meet established material and pressure standards so they can be incorporated into larger piping systems. The products are intended to interface with standardized flange systems and perform the same connection function as subject flange products, notwithstanding the modified center geometries and additional instrumentation related features. Direct,
( printed page 50792)
customer-specific sales arrangements are not unique to Pradeep's products and do not distinguish them from standard flange products. The manner in which the products are advertised or displayed does not distinguish them from standard flange products. June 17, 2026.
People's Republic of China (China)
A-570-064 and C-570-065: Forged Stainless Steel Flanges From China
Requestor:
API International Inc. (API). Eighteen models of certain cut plate flanges imported by API are not covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on stainless steel flanges from China because API's certain cut plate flanges undergo a distinct manufacturing process and are not forged. June 22, 2026.
A-570-896: Magnesium Metal From China
Requestor:
Galvotec Mag and Metal Works, Inc. (Galvotec). Certain magnesium extrusions used to produce high-quality concrete and asphalt finishing tools imported by Galvotec are not covered by the scope of the antidumping duty order on magnesium metal from China. The concrete and asphalt finishing tools Galvotec imports are made from magnesium extrusions, which is a “wrought” product and the Order only contemplates that “unwrought” products are included within the scope. May 21, 2026.
A-570-016 and C-570-017: Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires From China
Requestor:
Transamerica Tire Co., Ltd. (Transamerica). Sixty-one tire models imported by Transamerica are covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China because the presence of the “LT” suffix on the tire sidewalls is dispositive under the plain language of the scope; and the TRA Yearbook exclusion applies only to tires lacking such markings. June 24, 2026.
