The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted an expedited review of an antidumping duty order on certain malleable cast iron pipe fittings from China. The review concluded that removing the order would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of unfair pricing practices, with potential dumping margins up to 111.36 percent. This decision was made because there were no substantial responses from interested parties representing Chinese producers. The outcome ensures the continuation of the order to protect domestic industries from unfairly priced imports.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. said they will keep a special rule that stops some metal pipes from China being sold for super cheap, which could hurt American businesses if they were allowed to do so. They decided this because they think taking away the rule would let the selling for too cheap start again.
