The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has launched anti-dumping and countervailing investigations into imports of welded stainless steel pipes and pressure pipes from Turkey, India and the UAE. This is reported by SteelRadar. The investigation was launched on the basis of petitions filed in July of this year by three American manufacturers. During the review, the USITC will verify claims that the relevant imports from these three countries are being sold in the United States at a price below fair value and, in addition, are subsidized. The Commission will also determine whether this has caused significant damage or threatens it. The goods that are the subject of the investigation are classified according to subheadings 7305.31.60, 7306.11.00 and 7306.40.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Classifier of the USA. It is also indicated that these goods may be imported under subheading 7306.40.10. The USITC is expected to make a preliminary decision by August 31, 2026, unless the U.
S. Department of Commerce extends the investigation period. The Commission will send its findings to the agency by September 8 this year.
