Published Date: 9/25/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that large diameter welded pipe from Türkiye was sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from May 2024 to April 2025. This means importers will face antidumping duties to level the playing field. These final results take effect on September 25, 2026, impacting companies dealing with this pipe and protecting U.S. businesses from cheap imports.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Must Certify Duty Reimbursement or Risk Double Duties
Importers are reminded of their duty to file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period; failure to file may lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and to assess double antidumping duties.
Two Turkish Exporters Assigned 1.89% Duty
Commerce found that HDM Celik Boru Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (including HDM Spirally Welded Steel Pipe Inc.) and Cimtas Boru Imalatiral Ticaret Ltd sold large diameter welded pipe in the U.S. below normal value for May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025, and assigned each a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.89 percent. These final results are applicable September 25, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rates Effective on Publication
Upon publication of these final results, cash deposit requirements apply: the cash deposit rate for the listed companies will equal the 1.89 percent weighted-average dumping margin; the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 1.57 percent (the all-others rate). These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Timing of Duty Assessment and Possible Liquidation Hold
Commerce will issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results, and if a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to request a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Treatment of HDM Entries Without U.S. Destination Knowledge
For HDM-produced entries during the period of review for which HDM did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 1.57 percent if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
Result Intended to Protect U.S. Producers
Commerce stated that by finding dumping and imposing antidumping duties for May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025, the final results affect companies dealing with this pipe and protect U.S. businesses from unfairly low-priced imports; the notice is effective September 25, 2026.
