Scope of the Order
Merchandise covered by the Order are tapered roller bearings and
parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from China; flange, take up
cartridge, and hanger units incorporating tapered roller bearings; and
tapered roller housings (except pillow blocks) incorporating tapered
rollers, with or without spindles, whether or not for automotive use.
These products are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers 8482.20.00,
8482.91.00.50, 8482.99.15, 8482.99.45, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80,
8483.30.80, 8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 8483.90.80, 8708.70.6060,
8708.99.2300, 8708.99.4850, 8708.99.6890, 8708.99.8115, and
8708.99.8180. Although the HTSUS item numbers are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of the Order is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Based on the comments received \5\ and finding no information or
evidence on the record that calls into question the Initiation and
Preliminary Results, we continue to find that Stemco is the successor-
in-interest to GGB.\6\ As a result of this determination and consistent
with established practice, we find that Stemco is entitled to receive
the cash deposit rate assigned to GGB. Consequently, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend entries of
subject merchandise produced or exported by Stemco at GGB's current
cash deposit rate of 7.04 percent.\7\ This cash deposit requirement
will be effective on the publication date of these final results and
shall remain in effect until further notice.
