The investigation will cover all enterprises exporting stainless steel tubes and pipes to South Africa. As per the export quantities, the investigation will center mainly on Chinese exporters . The rules in South Africa require that the companies under investigation submit their comments within 30 days; however, most of the Chinese companies have not yet decided whether or not to submit comments.
