U.S. Keeps Duties on Welded Pipe From Six Countries
Published Date: 5/14/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is keeping special taxes on large diameter welded pipes from Canada, China, Greece, India, Korea, and Türkiye to stop unfair pricing and unfair government help. These taxes will stay in place starting May 2, 2025, to protect American pipe makers from harm. If these taxes were removed, it could hurt U.S. businesses and jobs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Stay In Place
The U.S. will continue antidumping duties (extra taxes) on large diameter welded pipe imported from Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Greece, India, the Republic of Korea, and the Republic of Türkiye. Commerce and the ITC found that removing these orders would likely lead to dumping and material injury, so the duties remain to protect U.S. pipe producers.
Countervailing Duties Continued
The U.S. will continue countervailing duties (extra taxes) on large diameter welded pipe from the People’s Republic of China, India, the Republic of Korea, and the Republic of Türkiye. Commerce and the ITC determined that revoking these countervailing duty orders would likely allow continued government subsidies and cause material injury to U.S. industry, so the duties remain in force.
