Antidumping Duty Investigation Initiated

 

Japan

Metal Calendar Slides

A-588-867

 

 

The International Trade Administration (ITA) has initiated an antidumping (AD) duty investigation of metal calendar slides from Japan.

 

Scope of the Investigation:  The merchandise covered in this investigation is “V” and/or “U” shaped metal calendar slides manufactured from cold-rolled steel sheets, whether or not left in black form, tin plated or finished as tin free steel (TFS), typically with a thickness from 0.19 mm to 0.23 mm, typically in lengths from 152 mm to 915 mm, typically in widths from 12 mm to 29 mm when the slide is lying flat and before the angle is pressed into the slide (although they are not typically shipped in this “flat” form), that are typically either primed to protect the outside of the slide against oxidization or coated with a colored enamel or lacquer for decorative purposes, whether or not stacked, and excluding paper and plastic slides.  Metal calendar slides are typically provided with either a plastic attached hanger or eyelet to hang and bind calendars, posters, maps or charts, or the hanger can be stamped from the metal body of the slide itself.

 

HTS Subheading for the Investigation: These metal calendar slides are believed to be classified under HTS 7326.90.1000.  The ITA states that the HTS number is provided for convenience and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) purposes; however, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive.
