US Probes Tariffs on Korean and Turkish Line Pipe
Published Date: 5/1/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is checking if stopping special taxes on welded line pipe from South Korea and Turkey would hurt American pipe makers again. They want input from businesses and folks by June 1, 2026, to decide if these taxes should stay. This review could affect prices and jobs in the pipe industry soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Five-Year Review of Pipe Duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission has begun second five-year reviews to decide whether revoking the countervailing duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey and the antidumping duty orders on welded line pipe from South Korea and Turkey would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The reviews were instituted May 1, 2026, and the Commission will use interested-party submissions to assess likely import volumes and likely price effects of subject imports.
Required Submissions and Deadlines
Domestic producers, importers, exporters, unions, and trade associations are asked to submit detailed information (including 2025 production, capacity, shipments, and values) by 5:15 p.m. on June 1, 2026; comments on adequacy are due by 5:15 p.m. on July 13, 2026. The notice estimates a public reporting burden of 15 hours per response and warns that failure to provide requested information may lead the Commission to draw an adverse inference under the statute.
