Antidumping Duties on Japanese Welded Pipes Extended Indefinitely
Published Date: 1/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government is keeping the special tax (called an antidumping duty) on big welded pipes from Japan because stopping it could hurt American pipe makers. This decision started back in 2001 and was reviewed again in 2024-2025, confirming the tax should stay to keep things fair. The order continues starting December 29, 2025, protecting U.S. businesses from unfairly cheap imports.

Importers Keep Paying AD Deposits
If you import welded large diameter line pipe from Japan, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry. This continuation is effective December 29, 2025, and applies to the subject merchandise described in the order (including HTSUS numbers 7305.11.10.30, 7305.11.10.60, 7305.11.50.00, 7305.12.10.30, 7305.12.10.60, 7305.12.50.00, 7305.19.10.30, 7305.19.10.60, and 7305.19.50.00).
U.S. Pipe Makers Kept Protected
Commerce and the International Trade Commission found that revoking the antidumping order would likely lead to dumping and material injury to the U.S. industry, so the AD order on welded large diameter line pipe from Japan will continue. The continuation, effective December 29, 2025, is intended to protect U.S. welded large diameter line pipe producers from unfairly priced imports.
