US issues ruling on the import of steel pipes from Ukraine, South Korea and Russia

The US Department of Commerce (USDOC), following an investigation into imports from these three countries, issued dumping definitions: imports of seamless standard, line and pressure pipes made of carbon and alloy steel from South Korea, Russia and Ukraine will be subject to anti-dumping (AD) obligations.

The rate of antidumping duties for South Korea was set at 4.52%, for Russia - 209.72%, for Ukraine - 41.23%.

USDOC will announce final dumping margin within six 6 months. The USDOC has notified the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) that an investigation into the injuries has begun.
