Antidumping Duties Continue on WSSPP Imports
The U.S. is keeping antidumping duties (special import taxes) on welded stainless steel pressure pipe (WSSPP) imported from Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Commerce published a notice continuing these AD orders after finding that removing them would likely lead to dumping and harm a U.S. industry. If you import WSSPP from those countries, expect the duties to remain in place.
U.S. Pipe Makers Keep Trade Protection
The continuation of the AD orders is intended to protect U.S. welded stainless steel pressure pipe producers from imports that Commerce and the ITC found could be dumped and cause material injury. U.S. companies that make this pipe can expect this protection to remain in place for now.
