The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on circular welded pipe and tube from India, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey 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, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey will remain in place.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative for the reviews involving India, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.
The Commission further determined that revocation of the existing antidumping duty order on imports of circular welded pipe and tube from Brazil would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s negative determination, the existing antidumping duty order on imports of this product from Brazil will be revoked.
Chairman Johanson and Commissioners Kearns and Karpel voted in the negative for the review involving Brazil. Commissioner Schmidtlein voted in the affirmative for the review involving Brazil.
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.
