Hyundai Steel Faces Duties in Another Routine Cross-Border Pipe Dispute
Published Date: 11/5/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Hyundai Steel and Hyundai Steel Pipe sold steel pipes from Korea at unfairly low prices between November 2023 and October 2024, so they’ll face extra duties. However, Husteel didn’t sell below normal prices and won’t be charged extra. These changes kick in starting November 5, 2026, impacting import costs and trade fairness.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Hyundai Steel/HSP face 4.20% antidumping duty
Commerce found that Hyundai Steel Company and Hyundai Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. sold circular welded non-alloy steel pipe at less than normal value for the period November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024, and assigned them a weighted-average dumping margin of 4.20 percent. Importers of Hyundai Steel/HSP pipe will face antidumping duties and new cash deposit requirements for shipments entered on or after the publication date (Applicable November 5, 2026).
Review-specific 4.20% rate for listed firms
Commerce assigned the 4.20 percent dumping rate calculated for Hyundai Steel/HSP as the review-specific rate to companies not individually examined in this review. The companies receiving this 4.20% rate are Aju Besteel; Kumkang Kind Co., Ltd.; Miju Steel Manufacturing; NEXTEEL Co., Ltd.; SeAH FS; and SeAH Steel Corporation. Importers of pipe from these companies will face antidumping duties and cash deposit requirements effective on or after November 5, 2026.
All-others rate and automatic assessment at 4.80%
The all-others rate from the original investigation is 4.80 percent and will apply to entries of subject merchandise by producers or exporters not covered by company-specific rates. Commerce will also instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate certain unreviewed entries at 4.80% where an exporter did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States and there is no rate for the intermediate company.
Husteel sales result in zero dumping margin
Commerce determined that Husteel Co., Ltd. had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for the period November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024. Entries of Husteel merchandise will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties (where the margin is zero or de minimis), so importers of Husteel pipe will not face additional antidumping duties under this review.
Importer reimbursement certificate requirement
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries for the reviewed period (November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
