The U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, Import Administration, has amended its originally published list of antidumping margins to be applied to Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof, for the period May 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006.

The original table is here (it has been updated with the new rates): article: U.S. sets antidumping duties on ball bearings
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.

Since the time the original rate were published, the ITC received information from Mori Seiki that the ITC had miscalculated by not making comparisons between certain models sold in the U.S. and similar models sold in its home market. Similarly, the ITC received notice from Timken that the ITC had not designated the level of trade correctly for Barden/Schaeffler UK.

The complete and amended final results in effect are:
