ITC Issues Preliminary Affirmative Injury Finding in Antidumping Investigation of Diamond Sawblades

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of diamond sawblades and parts thereof from China and Korea that are allegedly sold in the U.S. at less than fair value (Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1092-1093 (Preliminary). All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission's affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its antidumping investigations of imports of diamond sawblades from China and Korea, with its preliminary antidumping determinations due on or about October 31, 2005.

The antidumping petition in this case was brought by the Diamond Sawblade Manufacturers' Coalition and its individual members, including Blackhawk Diamond, Inc., Fullerton, CA; Diamond B, Inc., Santa Fe Springs, CA; Diamond Products, Elyria, OH; Dixie Diamond, Lilburn, GA; Hoffman Diamond, Punxsutawney, PA; Hyde Manufacturing, Southbridge, MA; Sanders Saws, Honey Brook, PA; Terra Diamond, Salt Lake City, UT; and Western Saw, Inc., Oxnard, CA.

The products covered by these antidumping investigations include all finished circular sawblades, whether slotted or not, with a working part that is comprised of a diamond segment or segments, and parts thereof, regardless of specification or size, except as specifically excluded. Within the scope of these investigations are semifinished diamond sawblades, including diamond sawblade cores and diamond sawblade segments. Diamond sawblade cores are circular steel plates, whether or not attached to non-steel plates, with slots. Diamond sawblade cores are manufactured principally, but not exclusively, from alloy steel. A diamond sawblade segment consists of a mixture of diamonds and metal powders that are formed together into a solid shape (often through a heating and pressing process). The imported merchandise subject to these investigations is provided for in subheading 8202.39.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The U.S. imported nearly $51 million in diamond sawblades from China and Korea in 2004.
