The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on large diameter welded (LDW) pipe from Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea, and Turkey would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing order on imports of these products from Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea, and Turkey will remain in place.
The Commission identified two domestic like products in these reviews. The Commission made affirmative determinations with respect to the antidumping duty orders on LDW carbon and alloy steel line pipe (line pipe) from Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea, and Turkey and the countervailing duty orders on LDW line pipe from India and South Korea. Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
The Commission also made affirmative determinations with respect to the antidumping duty orders on LDW carbon and alloy steel structural pipe (structural pipe) from Canada, China, South Korea, and Turkey and the countervailing duty orders on LDW structural pipe from China, South Korea, and Turkey. Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the below for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.
The Commission’s public report on Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea, and Turkey (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-593-596 and 731-TA-1401-1406 (Review), USITC Publication 5609, April 2025) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available by May 26, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally, within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the reviews, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.
The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea, and Turkey was instituted on February 1, 2024.
On May 6, 2024, the Commission determined to conduct full five-year reviews. For Canada and Greece, Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein and Jason E. Kearns concluded that the domestic interested party group response and the respondent interested party group responses were adequate and voted for full reviews. For China, India, South Korea, and Turkey, Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein and Jason E. Kearns found the domestic interested party group response adequate, but the respondent interested party group responses inadequate. Having determined to conduct full reviews with respect to Canada and Greece, however, they also voted to conduct full reviews with respect to China, India, South Korea, and Turkey to promote administrative efficiency.
A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct full reviews is available on the investigations page for Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea, and Turkey; Inv. No. 701-TA-593-596 and 731-TA-1401-1406 (Review).
