SMA's Crushed Glass 'Pieces' Not Large Enough for AD/CVD Exclusion, Commerce Says
July 20, 2021 |AD/CVD

Crushed glass products imported by SMA Surfaces do not qualify for an exemption for crushed glass surface products from antidumping and countervailing duties on quartz surface products from China (A-570-084/C-570-085), the Commerce Department said in a scope ruling issued July 15. Though SMA argued to the contrary, Commerce affirmed that the exclusion requires that products have one-centimeter-wide pieces within three inches of each other to qualify.

Rimco's 16-Inch Wheels Not Covered by Steel Trailer Wheels Duties, Commerce Says
July 15, 2021 |AD/CVD

Steel wheels imported by Rimco for passenger vehicle and light truck use are not subject to antidumping and countervailing duties on steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China (A-570-090/C-570-091), the Commerce Department said in a July 9 scope ruling. There is no indication that the wheels are meant for trailer applications, which the AD/CVD orders are intended to cover, the agency said. And Rimco’s wheels, though 16 inches in diameter, “can be differentiated from subject merchandise by examining hub bore size, offset, and load rating,” it said. “This reflects differences between trailer wheels and passenger vehicle/light truck wheels noted in the Petition and the underlying investigations of the Orders.”
