Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube From China, Mexico, South Korea, and Turkey, Scheduling of Full Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC is conducting full five-year (sunset) reviews on existing duty orders covering light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from four countries, which could lead to those orders being continued or revoked.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has scheduled full reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to decide whether revoking the countervailing duty order (China) and the antidumping duty orders (China, Mexico, South Korea, Turkey) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states the Commission has extended the review period by up to 90 days and tolled its schedule due to a lapse in appropriations.

Who's affected: The notice names light-walled rectangular pipe and tube. It cites origins of China, Mexico, South Korea, and Turkey. Specific HTS codes are not stated in this notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported pipe and tube products may fall within the scope described in the underlying duty orders.
- Confirm with your customs broker whether existing antidumping or countervailing duties currently apply to your goods from these origins.
- Check the country of origin of any rectangular pipe and tube you source.
- Confirm the current status and any revised deadlines of these reviews, given the noted extension and tolling.
