The US Congress determines the goals in the fight against illegal trading in steel pipes

The chairman of the Congress steel published a statement signed by 25 members of the Congress, calling for the introduction of forced measures regarding the illegal practice of trading in steel pipes used in the extraction of oil and natural gas. In an appeal sent to the US Commission on International Trade, the efforts of domestic metallurgists are supported to stop South Korea, India and other 7 countries that create unhealthy competition in the American market.

The statement states that "a surge in the United States of oil and natural gas caused an increase in demand for steel pipes. This led to a stream of cheap imports from countries such as Korea, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and others that subsidize their export sectors in violation of the rules of the World Trade Organization. The imports of oil pipes from 9 countries compiled almost 1.8 A billion US dollars in 2012, more than half the total number in 2010. "

Congress became successfully working with anti -dumping and compensation duties for pipes of the Chinese -made oil plant in 2010, helping domestic industry to recover. However, the surge of imports has shifted from China to other countries that support their export prices at artificially low levels using illegal subsidies, violating the established trade practice.

The congress considers this one of the most important tasks for the effective work of domestic producers, workers and public security of the country. The statement noted that the same types of duties are used for seamless and welded pipes from India, Korea, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam.
