Scope of the Order
Merchandise covered by the Order are tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from China; flange, take up cartridge, and hanger units incorporating tapered roller bearings; and tapered roller housings (except pillow blocks) incorporating tapered rollers, with or without spindles, whether or not for automotive use. These products are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers 8482.20.00, 8482.91.00.50, 8482.99.15, 8482.99.45, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80, 8483.30.80, 8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 8483.90.80, 8708.70.6060, 8708.99.2300, 8708.99.4850, 8708.99.6890, 8708.99.8115, and 8708.99.8180. Although the HTSUS item numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the Order is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Based on the comments received? 5 and finding no information or evidence on the record that calls into question the Initiation and Preliminary Results, we continue to find that Stemco is the successor-in-interest to GGB. 6 As a result of this determination and consistent with established practice, we find that Stemco is entitled to receive the cash deposit rate assigned to GGB. Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend entries of subject merchandise produced or exported by Stemco at GGB's current cash deposit rate of 7.04 percent. 7 This cash deposit requirement will be effective on the publication date of these final results and shall remain in effect until further notice.
