Commerce Reviews Mexican Pipe Imports, Adjusts Duties
Published Date: 6/16/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Mexico was sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from August 2022 to July 2023. Because of this, certain importers from Mexico will face updated antidumping duties starting June 16, 2025. This means some companies might pay more to keep things fair for U.S. businesses.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Final dumping margins set for Mexican exporters
Commerce found that light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Mexico was sold at less than normal value for the period August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023, and set company-specific dumping margins. The weighted-average margins are: Maquilacero S.A. de C.V./Tecnicas de Fluidos S.A. de C.V. 13.04%; Perfiles LM, S.A. de C.V. 6.48%; and Aceros Cuatro Caminos/Productos Laminados de Monterrey, Nacional de Acero, Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos, and Ternium Mexico each 9.88%. These final margins are applicable as of June 16, 2025.
Cash deposit rates start on publication date
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (June 16, 2025), cash deposit rates will be required. The cash deposit rate for each company will equal the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin from these final results, and the cash deposit rate for all other producers/exporters remains 3.76%. These deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
File reimbursement certificate or risk double duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation of the relevant entries for this period of review, per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If you fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
How antidumping duties will be assessed by CBP
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries from the period August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023 using importer-specific assessment rates or per-unit rates as described in 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the Federal Register publication date.
