USITC VOTES TO CONTINUE INVESTIGATION ON SEAMLESS REFINED COPPER PIPE AND TUBE FROM VIETNAM

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value. 

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. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigation of imports of seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Vietnam, with its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about December 7, 2020. 

The Commission’s public report Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube from Vietnam (Inv. No. 731-TA-1528 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5108, August 2020) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.

The report will be available after September 11, 2020; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at:  https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library. Read More →
