The merchandise covered by the Canada, Greece, Korea, and Turkey investigations is welded carbon and alloy steel pipe (including stainless steel pipe), more than 406.4 mm (16 inches) in nominal outside diameter (large diameter welded pipe), regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish, grade, end finish or stenciling.
The petitioners are American Cast Iron Pipe Co. (Birmingham, AL), Berg Steel Pipe Corp. (Panama City, FL), Berg Spiral Pipe Corp. (Mobile, AL), Dura-Bond Industries (Steelton, PA), Skyline Steel (Parsippany, NJ), and Stupp Corp. (Baton Rouge, LA).
The ITC is scheduled to make its final determinations on or about April 5.
