Thai Steel Pipes Dodge Dumping Duties, Business as Usual
Published Date: 9/1/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if Thai companies sold circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes at unfairly low prices from March 2024 to February 2025. They found no dumping, so no extra duties will be charged. This means Saha Thai Steel Pipe and others can keep selling without new fees starting September 1, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Zero Dumping Margins for Thai Pipes
For the period March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025, Commerce found that Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd. and Thai Premium Pipe Co. Ltd. had weighted-average dumping margins of 0.00 percent. This final determination covers entries during that period and is effective September 1, 2026.
Liquidation Without Antidumping Duties
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate entries covered by this review without regard to antidumping duties where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis. These instructions apply to entries during the March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025 period for the firms with a zero margin.
Cash Deposit Rates Set; All-Others 15.67%
Upon publication, cash deposit rates for Saha Thai and TPP will be 0.00 percent for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date. The cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will remain 15.67 percent (the all-others rate from the investigation). Other company-specific rules from prior segments continue to apply as described.
Importer Certificate Requirement; Risk of Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the period March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). Failure to comply could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.

Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will apply to their steel imports starting October 9, 2026.

They found that Haur Tyi Paper Bag Co. didn’t sell these bags at unfairly low prices, and they stopped reviewing five other companies because no one asked for it. This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.
