Vietnam’s circular welded carbon-quality steel pipes exported to the U.S. are most likely to face anti-dumping tariffs of up to 113.18% following a conclusion on October 25 of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC).
DOC announced the official conclusion on the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation into circular welded carbon-quality steel pipes imported from Vietnam, India, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said the Vietnam Competition Authority at Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The Vietnamese enterprises who have actively participated in the investigation are subject to a dumping margin of 0% to 6.27% while those who did not join the case face a rate of 113.18%.
The U.S. International Trade Commission will make a final decision on December 5 regarding injury for the American steel industry. If ITC says there is injury, DOC will impose the duties on December 12.
