Canada's Giant Pipes Hit with U.S. Dumping Duties Verdict
Published Date: 5/1/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Pipe & Piling Supplies Ltd. from Canada sold large diameter welded pipe in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from May 2023 to April 2024. Meanwhile, Evraz Inc. NA didn’t ship any of this pipe during that time. Starting May 1, 2026, these findings could affect import duties and trade rules for these companies.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
50.89% Duty for Pipe & Piling
Commerce found that Pipe & Piling Supplies Ltd. sold large diameter welded pipe at less-than-normal value for the period May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024, and established a weighted-average dumping margin of 50.89%. Beginning May 1, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries of that merchandise based on this 50.89% margin.
Cash Deposit Rules for Imports
For shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the publication date (May 1, 2026), the cash deposit requirements are: (1) Pipe & Piling's cash deposit rate equals the dumping margin established in this review; (2) previously reviewed/investigated companies keep their most recently published company-specific rate; (3) if the exporter is not covered but the producer is, the deposit rate is the producer's most recent rate; and (4) all other producers/exporters remain at the all-others rate of 12.32%. These deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Importers Must Certify Duty Reimbursement
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries for this period of review, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Evraz: No Shipments; Assessment Procedure
Commerce determined that Evraz Inc. NA made no shipments of subject merchandise during May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024. For Evraz, CBP will assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries at the rate equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry during the period of review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after publication (publication May 1, 2026); if a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to seek a statutory injunction has expired (within 90 days of publication).
