Welded Line Pipe From South Korea and Turkey; Institution of Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC has started five-year (sunset) reviews to decide whether existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on welded line pipe from South Korea and Turkey should stay in place.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has instituted reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking these duty orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states that interested parties are requested to respond by submitting the specified information to the Commission. No change to duty rates or revocation has occurred at this stage.

Who's affected: The notice names welded line pipe as the subject product and cites South Korea and Turkey as countries of origin. It references an antidumping duty order on welded line pipe from South Korea and Turkey, and a countervailing duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey. Specific HTS codes are not stated in the notice text provided.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported pipe products may fall within the scope of these existing duty orders.
- Confirm with your customs broker whether welded line pipe from South Korea or Turkey is currently subject to AD/CVD deposits.
- Check the notice for response deadlines and filing requirements if you are an interested party.
