In a statement made by the Ministry, it was reported that the provisional duty is based on the minimum import price set at USD 1,019.50/ton. If the declared CIF price of imported products is below this threshold, a provisional AD tax will be applied equal to the difference.
It was noted that the decision was taken within the scope of the dumping investigation initiated on February 20, 2025 upon the application made by Colombian producer Tenaris TuboCaribe Ltda. It was stated that the application will remain in effect for four months.
It was stated that the products covered by the duty are welded iron or steel pipes with circular cross-section, used in the protection of electrical cables. These products include steel pipes with a nominal diameter ranging from 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) to 152.4 mm (6 inches) and classified under HS code 7306.30.99.00.
This provisional measure taken by Colombia is considered as an important step taken to protect domestic producers and prevent unfair competition. The Ministry stated that the final decision process of the investigation is ongoing and the developments will be shared with the public.
