INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-754 and 731-TA-1732 (Preliminary)]
Temporary Steel Fencing From China
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 there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of temporary
steel fencing from China, provided for in subheading 7308.90.95 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and
alleged to be subsidized by the government of China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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\ 90 FR 9311 and 90 FR 9315 (February 11, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in Sec. 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec. 703(b) or 733(b)
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed
entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations
need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the
investigations. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase
notice of scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>),
for comment.
Background
On January 15, 2025, ZND US Inc., Statesville, North Carolina,
filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an
industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with
material injury by reason of subsidized and LTFV imports of temporary
steel fencing from China. Accordingly, effective January 15, 2025, the
Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-754
and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1732 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of

notice in the Federal Register of January 22, 2025 (90 FR 7702). The
Commission conducted its conference on February 5, 2025. All persons
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on March
3, 2025. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication
5597 (March 2025), entitled Temporary Steel Fencing from China:
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-754 and 731-TA-1732 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
