Duties on Steel Pipe From Four Countries Renewed
Published Date: 7/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep antidumping duties on seamless carbon and alloy steel pipes from the Czech Republic, Korea, Russia, and Ukraine because stopping them could lead to unfairly low prices again. This affects pipe makers and importers, keeping extra costs in place until at least July 6, 2026. The move protects U.S. producers like Vallourec Star, LP from unfair competition and helps keep the playing field fair.

U.S. pipe makers kept protected
Commerce decided on July 6, 2026 to continue antidumping duty orders on seamless carbon and alloy steel pipes from the Czech Republic, Korea, Russia, and Ukraine. That decision preserves protection for U.S. producers (for example, Vallourec Star, LP) by finding revocation would likely lead to dumping, with dumping margins likely to prevail up to 51.70% (Czech Republic), 4.48% (Korea), 209.72% (Russia), and 23.75% (Ukraine).
Importers face continued duties and costs
Because the antidumping orders remain in place as of July 6, 2026, importers of seamless carbon and alloy steel pipes from the Czech Republic, Korea, Russia, and Ukraine will continue to face antidumping duties tied to margins the Department says would likely prevail: up to 51.70% (Czech Republic), 4.48% (Korea), 209.72% (Russia), and 23.75% (Ukraine). This keeps extra import costs in place rather than removing them.
