Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Indian Stainless Flanges Found In-Scope
If you import precision-machined stainless steel ring-shaped components like those imported by Pradeep Metals Limited from India, Commerce preliminarily found those products to be within the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on stainless steel flanges. This preliminary finding was made on June 17, 2026 and says the products share the essential physical characteristics in the scope.
Certain Chinese Cut Plate Flanges Not Covered
If you import the eighteen cut plate flange models imported by API International from China, Commerce found those 18 models are not covered by the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on forged stainless steel flanges because they undergo a different manufacturing process and are not forged. The decision was issued on June 22, 2026.
Magnesium Extrusions for Tools Excluded
If you import the magnesium extrusions used to make concrete and asphalt finishing tools as imported by Galvotec Mag and Metal Works, Commerce found those wrought magnesium extrusions are not covered by the antidumping duty order on magnesium metal from China. This exclusion decision was issued on May 21, 2026 and notes the order contemplates unwrought products, not wrought extrusions.
61 Tire Models From China Deemed In-Scope
If you import the sixty-one passenger vehicle and light truck tire models imported by Transamerica Tire Co., Commerce found those 61 models are covered by the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China because the presence of the "LT" suffix on the sidewalls is dispositive. This ruling was issued on June 24, 2026.
