The United States International Trade Commission has determined that removing the countervailing and antidumping duties on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from China would likely cause harm to the U.S. industry.

The decision was based on reviews initiated in May 2024, and the views and findings are detailed in the Commission's December 2024 publication. This determination ensures continued protection for the domestic industry from potential damage caused by imported steel pipe from China.

The Department had initially provided an opportunity for public comment, and since the corrections do not involve substantive changes, additional comments are not needed.
