Large Diameter Welded Pipe From Canada, the People's Republic of China, Greece, India, the Republic of Korea, and the Republic of Türkiye: Continuation of Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders

AGENCY:

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY:

As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on large diameter welded pipe (LDWP) from Canada, the People's Republic of China (China), Greece, India, the Republic of Korea (Korea), and the Republic of Türkiye (Türkiye), and revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) orders on LDWP from China, India, Korea, and Türkiye, would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

DATES:

Applicable May 2, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Between March 6, 2019, and May 2, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD orders on LDWP from Canada, China, Greece, India, Korea, and Türkiye and CVD orders on LDWP from China, India, Korea, and Türkiye. ¹ On February 1, 2024, the ITC instituted, ² and Commerce initiated, ³ the first sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies, and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked. ⁴
