The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty order on imports of hand trucks from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, the existing order on imports of these products from China will remain in place.
Chair Jason E. Kearns, Vice Chair Randolph J. Stayin, and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on this five-year (sunset) review.
The Commission’s public report Hand Trucks from China (Inv. No. 731-TA-1059 (Third Review), USITC Publication 5159, February 2021) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the review.
The report will be available by March 2, 2021; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the review, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.
The five-year (sunset) review concerning Hand Trucks from China was instituted on July 1, 2020.
On October 5, 2020, the Commission voted to conduct an expedited review. Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, Randolph J. Stayin, and Amy A. Karpel concluded that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate and voted for an expedited review. Commissioner David S. Johanson concluded that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate and voted for a full review.
A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct an expedited review is available from the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Requests may be made by telephone by calling 202-205-1802.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has voted to institute an investigation of certain table saws incorporating active injury mitigation technology and components thereof. The products at issue in the investigation are table saws that quickly stop and/or retract the cutting blade to prevent serious injury when detecting that the operator has made contact with the blade.
The investigation is based on an amended complaint filed by SawStop, LLC, and SD3, LLC, both of Tualatin, OR, on July 30, 2015. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States and sale of certain table saws incorporating active injury mitigation technology and components thereof that infringe patents asserted by the complainants. The complainants request that the USITC issue a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist orders.
The USITC has identified the following as respondents in this investigation:
Robert Bosch Tool Corporation of Mount Prospect, IL; and
Robert Bosch GmbH of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.
By instituting this investigation (337-TA-965), the USITC has not yet made any decision on the merits of the case. The USITC’s Chief Administrative Law Judge will assign the case to one of the USITC’s administrative law judges (ALJ), who will schedule and hold an evidentiary hearing. The ALJ will make an initial determination as to whether there is a violation of section 337; that initial determination is subject to review by the Commission.
The USITC will make a final determination in the investigation at the earliest practicable time. Within 45 days after institution of the investigation, the USITC will set a target date for completing the investigation. USITC remedial orders in section 337 cases are effective when issued and become final 60 days after issuance unless disapproved for policy reasons by the U.S. Trade Representative within that 60-day period.

FACTUAL HIGHLIGHTS
Hydrofluorocarbon Blends and Components from China
Investigation No. 731-TA-1279 (Preliminary)
Product Description: Hydrofluorocarbon blends and their hydrofluorocarbon components, whether or not the components are imported for blending, are organic chemical compounds containing only hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. HFC blends R-404a, R-407a, R-407c, R-410a, and R-507a are composed of two or three of the following HFC components: R-32, R-125, R-134a, and R-143a. Although it is a component in multiple blends, HFC component R-134a is specifically excluded from this investigation. The three component HFCs subject to this investigation are used primarily as inputs for the subject HFC blends but also have limited applications as fire suppressants (R‐125) and propellants (R‐143a). R‐32 was approved in February 2015 for self‐contained air conditioning systems in the U.S. market. The blends are used primarily for low- and medium-temperature refrigeration and air conditioning. The most common applications are residential air conditioning and heat pumps, commercial air conditioning, commercial refrigeration (e.g., walk-in coolers and supermarket display cases), transportation refrigeration, and process refrigeration (e.g., food processing and chemical manufacturing). As they were developed to replace a single refrigerant, R-22, in these low‐ and medium‐temperature conditions, the subject blends have considerable overlap in their applications.
Status of Proceedings:
1. Type of investigation: Preliminary antidumping.
2. Petitioners: The American HFC Coalition and its members: Amtrol, Inc., West Warwick, RI; Arkema, Inc., King of Prussia, PA; The Chemours Company FC LLC, Wilmington, DE; Honeywell International Inc, Morristown, NJ; Hudson Technologies, Pearl River, NY; Mexichem Fluor Inc., St. Gabriel, LA; Worthington Industries, Inc., Columbus, OH; and District Lodge 154 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
3. Preliminary investigation instituted by the USITC: June 25, 2015.
4. Commission’s conference: July 16, 2015.
5. USITC vote: August 7, 2015.
6. USITC determination to the U.S. Department of Commerce: August 10, 2015.

BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the review, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.
The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Oil Country Tubular Goods from China were instituted on December 1, 2014.
On March 6, 2015, the Commission voted to conduct expedited reviews. All six Commissioners concluded that the domestic group response for these reviews was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate and voted for expedited reviews.
