The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on circular welded carbon quality steel line pipe from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, the existing orders on imports of these products will remain in place.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns 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 on Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-455 and 731-TA-1149 (Third Review), USITC Publication 5598, March 2025) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available by April 11, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
