The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of certain imports of freight rail couplers and parts thereof from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the Government of China.
Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative. Chairman David S. Johanson voted in the negative. Commissioner Randolph J. Stayin did not participate.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from China.
The Commission also made a negative critical circumstances finding with respect to imports of this product from China. As a result, these imports will not be subject to retroactive antidumping or countervailing duties.
The Commission’s public report, Certain Freight Rail Couplers and Parts Thereof from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-682 and 731-TA-1592 (Final), USITC Publication 5438, July 2023) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.
The report will be available by July 31, 2023; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: http://pubapps.usitc.gov/applications/publogs/qry_publication_loglist.asp. Read More→
