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,
[[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.
