On July 1, 2005, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) instituted five-year reviews (“sunset”) concerning the duties on imports of circular welded pipe and tube from Argentina, Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. ITC used the sunset reviews to determine whether the revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries. As a result of these reviews, the ITC determined that revocation of the existing countervailing duty order circular welded pipe and tube from Turkey; the existing antidumping duty orders on circular welded pipe and tube from Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey; and the existing antidumping duty order on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Taiwan would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries. Moreover, the ITC determined that revocation of the existing antidumping duty order on imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Argentina would not likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries. Accordingly, the existing orders on imports of circular welded pipe and tube from Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey and on imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Taiwan will remain in place. On the other hand, the existing duty order on imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Argentina will be will be revoked.
