Italian steel tubes hit with dumping duties: Review finalized
Published Date: 9/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Dalmine, an Italian steel tubing company, sold their cold-drawn mechanical tubing at unfairly low prices from June 2024 to May 2025. Because no one challenged this finding, the department is finalizing extra duties on Dalmine’s products to protect U.S. businesses. These changes take effect starting September 16, 2026, meaning importers will pay more for these steel tubes.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Dalmine Assigned 68.95% Dumping Margin
The Department of Commerce found that Dalmine S.p.A. sold cold-drawn mechanical tubing from Italy at below-normal prices and assigned a weighted-average dumping margin of 68.95% for the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. This margin is based on adverse facts available (AFA) and is the official rate Commerce adopted in the final results.
CBP To Assess 68.95% Duties
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess antidumping duties at an ad valorem rate of 68.95% on all appropriate entries of the subject merchandise from Dalmine during June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication (September 16, 2026), and if a timely summons is filed, CBP will be instructed not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) has expired.
Cash Deposit Rates Set After Publication
For shipments of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from Italy entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (September 16, 2026), Commerce set the cash deposit rate for Dalmine equal to the 68.95% dumping margin. The notice also states the all-others rate remains 47.87% ad valorem and company-specific rates from prior segments continue to apply where relevant.
Importer Certificate Must Be Filed
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
