US Agencies Give Updates in Welded Pipe Trade Cases
Written by Laura Miller
November 29, 2022
Welded pipe imports from four nations will continue to face antidumping (AD) duties after determinations from US trade agencies.
Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe from Oman, Pakistan, and UAE — Sunset Review Results
Circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates will continue to be subject to AD duties for at least another five years.
This comes after an affirmative injury determination by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) in which the agency decided that allowing the duties to expire, or ‘sunset,’ would be likely to lead to continued injury to the domestic pipe industry.
All five ITC commissioners gave affirmative injury votes in the five-year sunset review.
Additional information about the ITC’s determination will be released in January.
Large-Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada — Administrative Review Results
Evraz Inc. NA will now face steeper AD duties on its shipments of large-diameter welded pipe to the US.
The US Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA) has finalized new AD rates for Evraz after an administrative review evaluating the one-year period ended April 30, 2021.
The ITA set a weighted-average dumping margin of 36.02% for Evraz’s shipments. This rate will serve as the cash deposit rate during the period of review and for its exports to the US going forward.
The dumping margin is up considerably from the previous rate the company had been subject to of 7.9%.
Evraz was the only company to be evaluated in this administrative review. Therefore, the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be the rate determined in the prior review (7.9% for 38 specific companies) or 12.32% (the current “all-others” rate).

Leibowitz: The consequences of a new barrage of trade cases on coated steel
Domestic steel producers and the United Steelworkers (USW) union filed a barrage of trade cases last week. This is hardly news. Ever since the Commerce Department ruled that Vietnam is still treated as a nonmarket economy (NME) for antidumping purposes, many in the business expected new cases on the product that Vietnam excels at—“corrosion-resistant steel.” Nor is it a surprise that these cases roped in nine countries in addition to Vietnam: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. All these countries rank in the top ten exporters of corrosion-resistant steel to the United States. These petitions are a broadside against coated flat-rolled steel imports.

The petition seeks anti-dumping margins against Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the Netherlands, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Taiwan, Australia, and South Africa.
