Five-Year Review Could Affect Steel Pipe Trade
The U.S. International Trade Commission has started a five-year review (instituted March 2, 2026) to decide whether removing antidumping or countervailing duty orders on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Czechia, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to U.S. producers. The review covers antidumping orders with an Order Date of April 26, 2021 (Czechia) and orders with an Order Date of August 23, 2021 (Russia, South Korea, Ukraine); interested domestic producers, importers, unions, industrial users, and trade associations may submit information by April 1, 2026.
Businesses Must Submit Detailed 2025 Data
If you are a domestic producer, importer, exporter, union/worker group, or trade association, the Commission asks you to provide detailed information about 2025 operations (production in short tons, capacity, shipments, values in U.S. dollars, and certain financial items). Responses are due by 5:15 p.m. on April 1, 2026; the notice estimates the public reporting burden at an average of 15 hours per response and cites OMB number 3117-0016 (expiration June 30, 2026).
