The U.S. International Trade Commission announced its final antidumping and countervailing duty injury determinations in the investigations concerning imports of large-diameter welded pipe from Canada, Greece, Korea and Turkey.
Commerce will issue:
- antidumping duty orders on imports of LDW carbon and alloy steel line pipe from Canada, Greece, Korea, and Turkey;
- a countervailing duty order on imports of LDW carbon and alloy steel line pipe from Korea;
- antidumping duty orders on imports of LDW carbon and alloy steel structural pipe from Canada, Korea, and Turkey;
- and a countervailing duty order on imports of LDW carbon and alloy steel structural pipe from Korea and Turkey.
The large-diameter welded pipe (LDWP) covered by these 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 USITC identified three categories of pipe within the investigation: line pipe, structural pipe and stainless steel pipe.
The petitioners in the investigation are American Cast Iron Pipe Co. (Birmingham, Ala), Berg Steel Pipe Corp. (Panama City, Fla.), Berg Spiral Pipe Corp. (Mobile, Ala.), Dura-Bond Industries (Steelton, Pa.), Skyline Steel (Parsippany, N.J.), and Stupp Corp. (Baton Rouge, La.).

Leibowitz: Harris, Trump don’t talk much about steel and trade – because they (mostly) agree
By most accounts, the issues that are most important for voters in this election are the economy, immigration, and abortion.

And “America first” is a rallying point for both candidates.

Leibowitz: The Mexican steel import “surge”—and what to do about it
US presidential campaigns frequently sport an “air of unreality.” No more so than the 2024 campaign, where superlatives fly around like mosquitos. Steel trade has been a feature of political discourse for at least half a century now. Just last week, it proceeded to a new level of “unreality.” Four senators - Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) - wrote a “bipartisan” letter attacking Mexican exports of steel to the United States. They framed it as a “surge” in US steel imports from Mexico. To address this “surge,” the Senators urge the imposition of 25% tariffs on all steel imports from Mexico.
