Summary
The U.S. government decided to keep special taxes on welded stainless steel pressure pipes from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. This means companies in the U.S. that make these pipes get protection from unfairly cheap imports. These rules stay in place starting now to help American businesses avoid harm and keep jobs safe.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Duties remain on specified imported pipes
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided on May 16, 2025 to keep the countervailing duty order on welded stainless steel pressure pipe from China and the antidumping duty orders on welded stainless steel pressure pipe from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Commission found that removing those orders would likely lead to a return of material injury to a U.S. industry within a reasonably foreseeable time.
Protection intended to prevent industry harm
By keeping the duty orders in place, the Commission aims to help U.S. companies that make welded stainless steel pressure pipe avoid harm from unfairly cheap imports and to protect the U.S. industry. The Commission completed this determination on May 16, 2025 after five-year reviews.
