The Department of Commerce 和 International Trade Commission suspect 动力传动系统 components exported from China 和 Canada to the US are sold at prices below fair market value or are being subsidized by a foreign "authority". However, a new anti-dumping or countervailing duty rule could change that. Preliminary findings of investigations by the Department of Commerce into subsidies 和 dumping allegations indicate that duties could soon be imposed on iron castings from these two countries.
Stiff Duties Expected on Driveline Components from China 和 Canada
莎拉蒂姆"Dumping occurs" when a foreign company sells a product in the United States at less than its fair value. The anti-dumping law provides US businesses 和 workers with an internationally-accepted mechanism to seek relief from the market distortion caused by such imports. If final investigations by the Department of Commerce 和 U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determine the allegations on the Chinese 和 Canadian 动力传动系统 components to be true, an anti-dumping rule with strict duties is likely to come into effect in the near future.
Preliminary Affirmative Determination 和 Alignment of Final Determination with Final Antidumping Duty Determination
4月11日, 2016, the Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITC) published preliminary determinations that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers 和 exporter of Driveline Components from the People's Republic of China. The preliminary determination is currently in its comment period. The notice sets forth Countervailing duties on 动力传动系统 components from several manufactures in the People's Republic of China ranging from 2.68% to 166.77%，税率15.51% on all producers not specifically named in the notice. The ITC also announced their intention of aligning the Countervailing Duties Final Determination with the Final determination of the companion Anti-dumping investigation. The final Countervailing duty determination will be announced with the final anti-dumping determination, currently scheduled for December 2016.
Driveline Components Likely to be Affected by Anti-Dumping Duty
6月1日, 2016, the Department of Commerce announced its affirmative preliminary determinations in the anti-dumping duty investigations of imports of certain iron mechanical transfer drive components from Canada 和 the People's Republic of China (PRC). Several categories of 动力传动系统 components made of grey or ductile iron were investigated, 包括:
- Wheels or cylinders often referred to as sheaves, 滑轮, 飞轮, 平的滑轮, 惰轮, 输送机滑轮, 同步捆, 还有定时滑轮
- Components in the form of a cylinder (also known as bushings) which fit into the bore holes of other mechanical transfer drive components to lock them into drive shafts by means of elements such as teeth, 螺栓, 或螺丝.
- 未完成的驱动部件(1).e., blanks or castings) which possess the approximate shape of the finished iron mechanical transfer drive component 和 have not yet been machined to final specification after the initial casting, 锻造或类似操作. These machining processes may include cutting, 冲, 开槽, 无聊的, 线程, 斜接, 或倒角.
- Drive components that have been finished or machined in a third country
The Department of Commerce is scheduled to announce its final determinations on or about October 21, 2016 while ITC will make its final determinations in December 2016. Affirmation decisions by both will lead to anti-dumping orders being issued.
If your manufacturing business relies on finished or unfinished iron mechanical transfer drive components from China 和 Canada, 也许值得你花点时间 探索美国的铸造厂 作为一种选择. Being proactive may prevent any unnecessary operational delays or unexpected costs that occur if the 关税s are imposed.
