US ITC rules standard pipe from four countries doesn’t injure domestic market

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined Wednesday that a US industry is not materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from India, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates that the US Department of Commerce has determined are subsidized, and by imports from India, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam that Commerce has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value.

The negative determination was by a vote of four to two: Commissioners Daniel R. Pearson, Shara L. Aranoff, David S. Johanson, and Meredith Broadbent voted in the negative. Chairman Irving A. Williamson and Commissioner Dean A. Pinkert voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the USITC's negative determinations, no antidumping or countervailing duty orders will be issued.

The investigations were instituted by the USITC on October 26, 2011.
