U.S. pipe producers file
petitions against welded
stainless pressure pipe
from India
Synalloy Corp. subsidiary Bristol Metals
LLC, Felker Brothers Corp., Outokumpu
Stainless Pipe Inc., and Marcegaglia
USA have petitioned the Department of
Commerce (DOC) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to apply
antidumping and countervailing duties
to imports of welded stainless pressure
pipe from India.
Between 2012 and 2014, imports
from India of welded stainless pressure pipe increased by 4,306 percent,
from 281 to 12, 101 tons, and imports
in the first half of 2015 are on pace to
exceed those of 2014.
The petitions allege that Indian
welded stainless pressure pipe is
dumped in the U.S. at the rate of 27.39
percent ad valorem. The petitions
also allege more than 15 countervail-able subsidy programs to be investigated by the DOC, many of which are
prohibited under the relevant World
Trade Organization agreements.
The DOC will likely issue preliminary duty rulings in early 2016, with
final rulings by both agencies due by
late 2016.
