The U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, Import Administration, has
finalized the antidumping margins to be applied to Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof, for the
period May 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006.
Manufacturers in countries covered by the order are: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore,
and the United Kingdom. For Singapore, the period covered is May 1, 2005 through July 10, 2005.
The specific commerce antidumping case numbers involved are: A-427-801, A-428-801, A-475-801, A-588-804,
A-559-801, and A-412-801. Specifically, it covers ball bearings and parts thereof, including
all antifriction bearings that employ balls as the rolling element: antifriction balls, ball
bearings with integral shafts, ball bearings (including radial ball bearings) and parts
thereof, and housed or mounted ball bearing units and parts thereof.
Preliminary administrative review results were published on June 6, and invited comment.
By request, a general hearing was held on July 17, and a Japan-specific hearing on July 18.
In the review, KYK Corp. was removed from the order because the company did not ship any
Japanese-made ball bearings to the U.S. during this period.
The preliminary results were revised and the results for several firms changed. This included
programming and ministerial errors, and disregarding home-market sales that failed the
cost-of-production test for a number of firms.
NOTE: the rates for Mori Seiki of Japan and Barden Corp / Schaeffler
of the UK have been amended since the original list was published. Commerce amended the
rates, citing errors in their calculations. The original rates have been removed and this
table is correct as published.
