The US International Trade Commission (USITC) announced on May 8, 2025 that it has completed its five-year review of trade measures on welded stainless steel pressure pipes originating in China, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The Commission found that the U.S. steel industry could suffer further injury if existing dumping and countervailing duties were lifted.
According to the investigation, the current dumping and countervailing duties on products originating in China and dumping measures on imports from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam will remain in place. The decision was made as part of the five-year review process under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
USITC Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns decided to conclude the process through an expedited review, finding the domestic producers' requests sufficient, but the importing parties' responses inadequate.
The Commission stated that if the existing measures were lifted, dumped or subsidized imports would increase again and harm domestic producers.
The USITC report detailing the decision is expected to be published on June 13, 2025. The report will be open to the public and will be available on the Commission's website.
