Description

This notice announces the U.S. Court of International Trade's final judgment regarding the antidumping duty order on certain carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings from China. The court's decision is not in harmony with the Department of Commerce's prior determination, leading to an amendment that includes products cut to length and formed into the rough shape of butt-weld pipe fittings in China as unfinished fittings covered by the order. Further processing of these products in Vietnam does not remove them from the scope of the antidumping duty order. The notice also instructs suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements for such products.
