Final Phase Scheduled for Trade Probe
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations Nos. 701-TA-746-747 and 731-TA-1724-1725 to decide if U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of overhead door counterbalance torsion springs from China and India (HTS 7320.20.50). The action is being conducted under the Tariff Act of 1930 and advances the investigation toward a final determination.
Commerce Made Preliminary Subsidy/AD Finding
The Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that imports of overhead door counterbalance torsion springs from China and India (HTS 7320.20.50) are subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value. That preliminary finding is cited in the ongoing countervailing duty and antidumping investigations Nos. 701-TA-746-747 and 731-TA-1724-1725.
