China Tapered Roller Bearings: Non-Heat Treated Unfinished Bearings Subject to AD Duties

Unfinished tapered roller bearings imported by Precision Components that have been green machined but not heat treated are subject to antidumping duties on tapered roller bearings from China (A-570-601), the Commerce Department said in a scope ruling issued in June. The scope of the AD duty order covers both finished and unfinished tapered roller bearings, and the non-heat treated tapered roller bearings imported by Precision Components are destined to become tapered roller bearings after further processing, Commerce said. They have the same physical characteristics, end use, customer expectations, channels of trade and means of advertising as other unfinished tapered roller bearings covered by the AD duty order, Commerce said.
