Steel Pipes from UAE: Dumping Duties Get Court Tweaks
Published Date: 8/31/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against the original antidumping review results for steel pipes from the UAE, affecting companies like Universal Tube and Plastic Industries. Because of this, the Department of Commerce is updating the dumping margins for these companies starting August 29, 2026. This means changes in duties owed and could impact payments or refunds for the 2020-2021 period.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Suspended Entries Remain Enjoined; Duties May Be Assessed
Entries of the subject merchandise that were produced or exported by Universal and entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2021 remain enjoined from liquidation by CIT order. If the CIT's August 19, 2026 judgment is not appealed or is upheld on appeal, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b) when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis; where the rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Dumping Margin Raised to 3.64%
Commerce amended the final results for the antidumping review of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from the United Arab Emirates for the period December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2021. The weighted-average dumping margin assigned to Universal Tube and Plastic Industries, Ltd.; THL Tube and Pipe Industries LLC; and KHK Scaffolding and Formwork LLC changed from 2.63 percent to 3.64 percent, effective August 29, 2026.
