Turkey's Cheap Steel Pipes Get U.S. Tariff Slapdown
Published Date: 3/17/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. checked if steel pipes and tubes from Türkiye were sold for less than fair prices between May 2022 and April 2023. They found that these products were indeed sold too cheaply, so they’re adjusting the duties (extra taxes) to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. This means importers from Türkiye might pay more starting now to level the playing field.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Higher Duties on Turkish Steel Pipes
The Department of Commerce found that circular welded carbon steel standard pipe and tube products from the Republic of Türkiye were sold below normal value during May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023. As a result, Commerce adjusted antidumping duties, so importers of these products from Türkiye may have to pay higher duties following this final review.
