Korea Pipe Dumping Review: Commerce Plays Trade Cop Again

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Korean companies making large diameter welded pipe got unfair government help during 2024. They’re stopping the review for 16 companies but continuing it for others, including Hyundai Steel Pipe and SeAH Steel. This could affect import costs and trade rules starting August 4, 2026, so companies should pay attention and get ready.
