Summary

On July 29, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in Tube Forgings of America, Inc. and Mills Iron Works, Inc. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 23-00231, sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)'s second remand redetermination pertaining to the covered merchandise inquiry (CMI) for the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings (butt-weld pipe fittings) from the People's Republic of China (China). Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT's final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce's CMI determination, and that Commerce is amending the CMI determination to find that products cut to length and formed into the rough shape of a butt-weld pipe fitting in China represent "unfinished" fittings, which are covered by the scope of the Order, and that when such products are further processed in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam), they remain subject to the AD order on butt-weld pipe fittings from China.
