The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty order on imports of seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Germany 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 determination, the existing antidumping duty order on imports of this product from Germany will remain in place.

The five-year (sunset) review concerning Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe from Germany was instituted on August 1, 2017.

On November 6, 2017, the Commission voted to conduct an expedited review. Chairman Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Vice Chairman David S. Johanson, and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson and Meredith M. Broadbent concluded that the domestic group response for this review was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate and voted for an expedited review.
