Steel pipes from Vietnam do not circumvent US trade remedy measures

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued its final determination that certain imported products from Vietnam do not evade the anti-dumping and countervailing duties that the US is applying to similar items from Taiwan due to the fact that these products do not use hot-rolled steel sourced from Taiwan (China), announced the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam.

Certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes and circular welded non-alloy steel pipe imported into the US during the period of inquiry, January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2021, were not completed in Vietnam using hot-rolled steel manufactured in Taiwan, and, therefore, no such imports are circumventing the antidumping duty orders on pipe and tube and welded non-alloy steel pipe from Taiwan.
