The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has announced that it has amended the order and the final determination regarding its antidumping investigation on imports of welded line pipe from South Korea, on the grounds that the final determination was not in harmony with the United States Court of International Trade (CIT).
Accordingly, the DOC has determined new dumping margins of 1.12 percent for NEXTEEL, Husteel and Hyundai Steel, and zero percent for SeAH.
In November 2020, the DOC had announced its final determination in the antidumping investigation covering the period between December 1, 2017, and November 30, 2018, determining dumping margins of 15.07 percent for NEXTEEL, 9.33 percent for SeAH, and 11.60 percent for Husteel and Hyundai Steel. After SeAH appealed the decision, the CIT remanded the DOC’s decision and requested the DOC to recalculate the dumping margin.
