Commerce updates duties on steel pipe from Oman

The Department of Commerce is updating the antidumping duties on imports of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from the Sultanate of Oman’s Al Jazeera Steel Products Co.
An administrative review of the duties by Commerce’s International Trade Administration is reviewing the time period of Dec. 1, 2021, through Nov. 30, 2022.
The agency preliminarily determined that Al Jazeera sold pipe at below normal value during that time. It set the company’s weighted-average dumping margin at 0.61%.
The rate is down from the 2.31% rate assigned to Al Jazeera and three other Oman companies in the prior one-year period.
Commerce will issue the final results of the review in early December.
The scope of this AD order covers welded carbon steel standard pipe, fence pipe and tube, sprinkler pipe, structural pipe, and mechanical tubing with outside diameters up to 16 inches. The duties were first put in place late in 2016, and then renewed after a 2022 sunset review.
