Turkey's Steel Pipes Dumped? Commerce Says Maybe
Published Date: 8/7/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that the sole respondent, Borusan Birle[ccedil]ik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.[Scedil]., subject to this review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f); failure to file may lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and to the assessment of double antidumping duties.
Preliminary Dumping Margin: 4.91%
Commerce preliminarily found that Borusan sold circular welded carbon steel pipe and tube at less than normal value for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025 and assigned an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 4.91 percent for Borusan for that period.
Cash Deposit Rules for Future Shipments
If the final results keep a non-de minimis rate, the cash deposit rate for Borusan will be the rate established in the final results for shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results; cash deposit rates under 0.50 percent will be zero, and the all-others cash deposit rate remains 14.74 percent.
Importer-Specific Assessment Method
Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of total dumping to total entered value for the importer's examined sales if Borusan's margin is not zero or de minimis; if entered values are missing for some U.S. sales, Commerce will calculate a per-unit assessment rate for that importer.
Automatic Assessment on Unknown-U.S.-Destination Entries
For entries during the period of review produced by Borusan for which Borusan did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate from the less-than-fair-value investigation if there is no rate for intermediate companies.
