Turkish Pipes Face U.S. Antidumping Scrutiny Again
Published Date: 5/27/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Turkish companies sold large welded pipes in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from May 2024 to April 2025. They’re stopping the review for 12 companies but will keep checking others, which could affect import duties and prices soon. Businesses involved should watch for updates and get ready for possible changes starting May 27, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Preliminary Finding of Dumping
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that some producers/exporters of large diameter welded pipe from Türkiye sold merchandise in the U.S. at less than normal value during the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. This preliminary finding (published May 27, 2026) can lead to antidumping duty assessments and possible changes in duties for entries covered by that period.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Set at 1.89%
Commerce preliminarily assigned estimated weighted-average dumping margins of 1.89 percent to HDM Celik Boru Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (HDM) and to Cimtas Boru Imalatiral Ticaret Ltd. for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. These preliminary margins are the basis for assessment calculations while the review proceeds toward final results.
Cash Deposit Rate Rules and 1.57% All-Others Rate
Commerce stated that cash deposit requirements for shipments entered on or after the publication date of the final results will follow the company-specific rates established in the final results, and that the all-others rate for manufacturers/exporters not covered by this review will remain 1.57 percent. These deposit requirements stay in effect until further notice and govern future estimated-duty deposits.
Review Rescinded for 12 Named Companies
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to 12 named Turkish companies (seven listed in Appendix II with no reviewable entries and three for which review requests were withdrawn). For those companies, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry.
