On June 21, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced its final determination in the administrative review of the antidumping (AD) order against circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from South Korea.

In the review which covers six South Korean producers/exporters, namely SeAH Steel Corporation; A-JU Besteel Co., Ltd.; Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.; Korea Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.; Nexteel Co., Ltd.; and Union Steel Co., Ltd., the DOC determined the final AD margin of 3.28 percent for all respondents.

The petitioners were United States Steel Corporation (US Steel), Allied Tube and Conduit Corporation and TMK IPSCO Tubulars.

As SteelOrbis previously reported, on December 8, 2009, the DOC published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the AD order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from South Korea, covering the period November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008.

The DOC preliminarily determined that the weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, SeAH Steel, is 4.42 percent. The DOC assigned the same preliminary margin of 4.42 percent to the other companies subject to this review.

Imports of these products are currently classifiable under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheadings: 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90.
