Duties Established Against China For Dumping Fittings

The U.S. Department of Commerce on Sept. 20, 2002, established preliminary dumping duties against China for the manufacture of nonmalleable cast-iron pipe fittings sold in the United States at "less than fair value" (see "U.S. Rules Unanimously On China Dumping Fittings," June 2002). A final decision on the issue is expected in February 2003.
