Turkish Pipe Maker Faces New Subsidy Investigation
Published Date: 6/4/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that a big pipe maker in Türkiye, HDM Çelik, got some government help during 2024. They’re also stopping the review for 11 other companies. This means some companies might face new fees or changes soon, and everyone involved can share their thoughts before the final decision.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary 3.37% Subsidy Finding
Commerce preliminarily found that HDM Çelik received countervailable subsidies and calculated a net countervailable subsidy rate of 3.37 percent ad valorem for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. If finalized, Commerce intends to direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on appropriate entries covered by this review after the final results are published.
Cash Deposit Rules for Future Entries
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties on shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results. The cash deposit rate will equal the company-specific estimated subsidy rate determined in the final results (but will be zero if that rate is less than 0.50 percent), the higher rate if producer and exporter rates differ, the company-specific rate if only one side has a rate, and the all-others rate will remain 3.72 percent.
Review Rescinded for 11 Turkish Producers
Commerce rescinded this administrative review, in part, for 11 named Turkish companies because there were no suspended entries of their merchandise during January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. For those companies, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, and rescission instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice.
