Oman-made Chinese-steel pipes targeted
If you import circular welded carbon quality steel pipe that was finished in Oman using hot-rolled steel produced in the People’s Republic of China, the Department of Commerce has preliminarily found those imports are circumventing existing antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on pipe from China. That means importers of these Oman-finished pipes could face new AD/CVD duties if the finding is finalized, so affected companies should watch for updates and prepare to respond.
