The US Department of Commerce has announced its affirmative preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation on imports of circular welded carbon quality steel pipe from China. US DOC determined that Chinese producers or exporters sold certain steel pipe in the United States at up to 51.34% less than fair value. US DOC will announce a final decision on anti dumping duties in May.

As a result of this preliminary determination, Commerce will instruct US customs & border protection to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise and to collect a cash deposit or bond based on the preliminary rates.

Mr David Spooner assistant secretary for import administration said that ¡°Price discrimination hurts American manufacturers. The administration is committed to aggressively enforcing America's trade remedy laws in order to achieve strong and fair relationships with our trading partners.¡±

Circular welded carbon quality steel pipe is used for the conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, air, and other liquids and gases in plumbing and heating systems, air conditioning units, and automatic sprinkler systems. The merchandise covered by this investigation includes certain circular welded carbon quality steel pipes and tubes with an outside diameter of 0.372 inches or more, but not more than 16 inches.

Allied Tube & Conduit, IPSCO Tubulars Inc, Northwest Pipe Company, Sharon Tube Company, Western Tube & Conduit Corporation, Wheatland Tube Company and the United Steelworkers are the petitioners for these investigations.
