Korean Giant Pipes Cleared in Antidumping Review So Far

Published Date: 7/30/2026

Notice

Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if Korean companies sold large welded pipes at unfairly low prices from May 2024 to April 2025 and found they didn’t. They also stopped reviewing 15 companies in this round. This means no extra duties will be charged now, but the public can still share their thoughts before the final decision.

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.

Zero Preliminary Dumping Margins for Two Korean Producers

If you import large-diameter welded pipe from Hyundai Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. (HSP) or SeAH Steel Corporation (SeAH) for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, Commerce preliminarily found a 0.00 percent dumping margin for each company. If the final results remain zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Cash Deposit Rules and All‑Others Rate Continued

Commerce stated the cash deposit requirements that will apply for shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results: if a final rate is less than 0.50 percent it will be treated as zero for cash-deposit purposes; previously established company-specific rates remain for companies not covered by this review; and the all-others rate from the original investigation remains 7.08 percent. These deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.

Automatic Assessment for Unknown‑Destination Shipments

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise produced by HSP and SeAH for which the producer did not know the goods were destined for the United States at the all-others rate from the less‑than‑fair‑value (LTFV) investigation if there is no rate for intermediate parties. The LTFV all‑others rate referenced in this proceeding is 7.08 percent.

0.80% Rate for Non-Examined Exporters

For exporters and producers of the subject merchandise from Korea that were not individually examined in this review, Commerce preliminarily assigned a review-specific rate of 0.80 percent for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. That 0.80 percent rate will be used to calculate antidumping duties and assessment rates for those companies unless changed in the final results.

Rescission for 15 Companies — Assessment at Deposit Rate

Commerce rescinded the administrative review for 15 named Korean companies because there were no reviewable, suspended entries during May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025. For those rescinded companies, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.
