The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on imports of welded stainless steel pressure pipe from India would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of this product from India will remain in place.
Chair Jason E. Kearns, Vice Chair Randolph J. Stayin, and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.
The Commission’s public report Welded Stainless Steel Pressure Pipe from India (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-548 and 731-TA-1298 (First Review), USITC Publication 5320, April 2022) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available by May 6, 2022; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
