U.S. International Trade Commission Schedules Expedited Five-Year Review for Steel Threaded Rod from China
Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced the scheduling of an expedited five-year review concerning steel threaded rod from China. This action is taken under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine if removing the antidumping duty order would likely cause material injury again within a reasonable time.
The date for this action is May 9, 2025.
Reasons for the Review
The USITC found that the response from domestic interested parties to its notice of institution was adequate. The response from respondent interested parties was inadequate. No other circumstances were found to justify a full review.
Because of this, the Commission will conduct an expedited review according to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). Commissioner David S. Johanson voted to conduct a full review.
Rules and Procedures
The review will follow the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure found in 19 CFR part 201 and 19 CFR part 207. The staff report about this review was placed in the nonpublic record and will be given to people on the Administrative Protective Order service list on June 11, 2025. A public version of the report will be issued later.
Written Submissions
Interested parties who have given adequate responses to the notice of institution can submit written comments regarding what determination the Commission should make. Other parties and non-interested persons may also submit brief written statements by June 18, 2025. These submissions may not contain new factual information. If the Department of Commerce extends its review timeline, then comments related to Commerce’s final results must be submitted within three business days after the announcement.
Written comments containing business proprietary information (BPI) must follow requirements listed in 19 CFR 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7. More information about the Commission’s filing procedures is available on their website.
The Commission has accepted the response from Vulcan Threaded Products, Inc. as individually adequate. Other interested party comments will not be accepted.
Service and Certification
Documents filed by any party must be served to all other parties involved in the review. A certificate of service must be attached. Without this certificate, the Secretary will not accept the document for filing.
Timeline Extension
The Commission considers this review to be extraordinarily complicated. It has chosen to extend the review period by up to 90 days according to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority
This action is authorized under Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930. The notice has been published following section 207.62 of the Commission’s rules.
The notice was issued by Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission, on May 20, 2025.
