The United States International Trade Commission decided that if they remove tariffs on non-malleable cast iron pipe fittings from China, it could harm the U.S. industry. This conclusion is based on a five-year review and was finalized on January 3, 2025. The review process started in June 2024 and was expedited in September 2024. Two commissioners did not participate in this decision.
Simple Explanation
The United States Trade Commission checked if taking away tariffs, which are special taxes, on certain pipe parts from China might hurt U.S. businesses and decided that removing them could be bad. Two people who usually help make these decisions weren't involved, but we don't know why.
