The Department of Commerce has made a preliminary decision that seamless carbon and alloy steel pipes from Ukraine are being sold in the U.S. at prices below their fair value. This investigation covers the period from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. As a result, U.S. Customs will be directed to suspend the liquidation of these products and require cash deposits based on the calculated dumping margins. The final determination on this matter will be postponed to allow for further investigation, and interested parties are invited to submit comments on the findings.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government checked and thinks that some steel pipes from Ukraine are being sold in the U.S. for really low prices. So, they're asking for extra money when people buy these pipes while they look into it more.
