Large Diameter Welded Line Pipe from South Korea

In the preliminary results of a review of the 2021 calendar year, countervailable subsidy rates were set by Commerce at 1.54% for Hyundai RB Co., Shinchang Construction Co., and HiSteel Co., and 0.17% de minimis for SeAH Steel and its affiliates SeAH Holdings and ESAB SeAH Corp.
