The US has launched an investigation into imports of stainless steel pipes from three countries

The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has launched anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations into imports of welded stainless steel pipes and pressure pipes from Turkey, India and the UAE. This was reported by SteelRadar.

The investigations were initiated following petitions filed in July this year by three US manufacturers. During its review, the USITC will examine allegations that the imports in question from these three countries are being sold in the US at prices below fair value and are, furthermore, subsidised. Furthermore, the Commission will determine whether this has caused or threatens to cause material injury.

The goods subject to the investigations are classified under subheadings 7305.31.60, 7306.11.00 and 7306.40.50 of the US Harmonised Tariff Schedule. It is also noted that these goods may be imported under subheading 7306.40.10.

The USITC is expected to issue its preliminary ruling by 31 August 2026, unless the US Department of Commerce extends the investigation period. The Commission will submit its findings to the Department by 8 September this year.

It should be recalled that India has extended anti-dumping duties on imports of seamless pipes, tubes and hollow sections of iron, alloy and non-alloy steel from China. The decision was taken following the second review of the duration of the anti-dumping measures.

As reported by GMK Center, the EAEU has extended anti-dumping measures on Ukrainian stainless steel pipes. The decision was taken following a repeat anti-dumping investigation.
