ITC Issues Final Affirmative Injury Determination on Ceramic Station Post Insulators From Japan
The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) determined on December 2, 2003 that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of certain ceramic station post insulators from Japan. As a result of this decision the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue an antidumping order on this product. All six ITC Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
This antidumping investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed by Lapp Insulator Company LLC, Le Roy, NY, Sandersville, GA; Newell Porcelain Co., Newell, WV; Victor Insulators Inc., Victor, NY; and the IUE-CWA, AFL-CIO.
The imported products subject to this investigation are station post insulators manufactured of porcelain, of standard strength, high strength, or extra high strength, solid core or cavity core, single unit or stacked unit, assembled or unassembled, and with or without hardware attached, rated at 115 kilovolts (kV) and above (550 kilovolt Basic Impulse Insulation Level (BIL) and above). These products are classifiable under tariff classification number 8546.20.0060 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.
