The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the preliminary results of its administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes (standard pipe) from Turkey

The review covers four producers/exporters – (a) Borusan Group, Borusan Holding A.S., Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S., and Borusan Lojistik Dagitim Pepolama Tasimacilik ve Tic A.S. (collectively “the Borusan companies”); (b) Umram Celik Born Sanayii A.S. (a/k/a Umran Steel Pipe Inc.);  (c) Guven Steel Pipe (a/k/a Guven Celik Boru San. ve Tic Ltd.; and (d) Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., Toscelik Metal Ticaret A.S., and Tosyali dis Ticaret A.S. and (collectively “the Toscelik companies”) – during the period from January 1 through December 31, 2013.

The DOC has preliminarily determined the following net subsidy margins: (a) the Borusan companies – 4.18 percent; (b) Umran – 4.18 percent; (c) Guven – 4.18 percent; and (d) the Toscelik companies – 4.18 percent.

The DOC has also preliminarily determined that (a) Erbosan Erciyas Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Erbosan Erciyas Pipe Industry and Trade Co. Kayseri Free Zone Branch (collectively “Erbosan”) and (b) the Yucel Group and all affiliates, including Yucel Boru ve Profil Endustrisi A.S., Yucelboru Ihracat Ithalat ve Pazarlama A.S., and Cayirova Boru Sanayi ye Ticaret S.A. (collectively “Yucel”), had no shipments or sales during the period of review.  Accordingly, the DOC has preliminarily determined to rescind the reviews of these companies.

The DOC plans to complete this review by August 2015.  Until that time, the current CVD deposit rates will remain in effect.  Any change in the deposit rates as a result of this review will become effective only when the DOC's final results are published in the Federal Register.

There is also an antidumping order against standard pipe from Turkey, and the DOC is currently conducting an administrative review of that order.
