The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has made its final determination in the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Vietnam.

The DOC has made a negative final determination because its investigation showed that neither of the two Vietnamese mandatory respondents - SeAH Steel VINA Corp. and Vietnam Haiphong Hongyuan Machinery Manufactory Co., Ltd. - received countervailable subsidies. Accordingly, the CVD investigation of steel pipe from Vietnam will be terminated.

Meanwhile, the US DOC also made its final determination in the CVD investigation of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman.

The final subsidy margins are 6.17 percent for Abu Dhabi Metal Pipes & Profiles Industries Complex LLC and Alita Trading DMCC; 2.06 percent for Universal Tube and Plastic Industries, Ltd., KHK Scaffolding and Formwork LLC, and Universal Tube and Pipe Industries LLC; and 4.12 percent for all other UAE producers and exporters. 

The final subsidy margins are 4.13 percent for Al Jazeera Steel Products Co. SAOG and 4.13 percent for all other Omani producers and exporters. 

The US International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its final injury determination in the steel pipe cases involving India, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam on November 14, 2012.
