The US International Trade Commission (ITC) determined Friday that there is a reasonable indication that a US industry is materially injured by reason of imports of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of Pakistan.
The Commission further determined that imports of these products from the Philippines are negligible.
All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative with respect to Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam and made findings of negligibility with respect to the Philippines.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the US Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its investigations on imports of this product from Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about January 21, 2016, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about April 5, 2016.
