Mexico’s economy secretariat, SE, said on Friday it extended existing countervailing duties (CVD) over the Chinese imports of seamless pipe for five more years, after concluding a probe on the product.
According to SE, the five-year extension to the existing duties will be counted from February 24, 2016, following a request at the time from local producer Tenaris Tamsa.
On June 20, 2013, SE established a definite CVD of $1,252/mt over the imports of seamless pipe from China. The same duty should be kept for the five-year period to come.
The products subject to the CVD fall under the following HS codes: 7304.19.02, 7304.19.99, 7304.39.06 and 7304.39.99.
