Chinese Brake Drums Face U.S. Duties in Fair-Price Finding

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that brake drums from China are being sold in the U.S. for less than their fair price. Starting June 18, 2025, extra duties will apply to these imports to protect American businesses. This means importers might pay more, and U.S. brake drum makers get a fairer chance to compete.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that certain brake drums (brake drums) from the People's Republic of China (China) are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). The period of investigation (POI) is October 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

## Effects PRIA read

- Importers Face Large Antidumping Deposits: cost, high. U.S. importers of the covered brake drums must make cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties and will face suspended liquidation for entries entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after January 29, 2025. Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require cash…
- U.S. Brake Drum Makers Gain Trade Relief: benefit, medium.

- Which Brake Drums Are Covered (Size, Weight, Codes): mixed, medium. The investigation covers gray cast iron brake drums with an actual or nominal inside diameter of 14.75 inches or more but not over 16.6 inches and weighing more than 50 pounds; covered imports are classifiable under HTSUS 8708.30.5020 (and may enter under 8708.30.5090 or 8716.90.5060 as assemblies)…
- Named Exporters Assigned 77.14% Deposit Rate: cost, high. Commerce assigned an estimated weighted-average dumping margin and cash deposit rate of 77.14 percent to multiple named producer/exporter combinations (for example, Shandong ConMet Mechanical Co., Ltd.; Liaoning Hechuang CV Parts MFG Co.; Qiqihar Beimo Auto Parts Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; and severa…
- China-Wide Entity Assigned Very High Rates (AFA): cost, high. Commerce assigned the China-wide entity an adverse facts available (AFA) dumping margin of 160.79 percent and a cash deposit rate of 150.25 percent; combinations of Chinese producers/exporters that did not establish separate-rate eligibility will be subject to the China-wide rate, and third-country…
