    The Department of Commerce has released preliminary results of an antidumping duty review for heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Korea. They found that the companies under review did not sell these products in the U.S. at prices below their normal value during the review period from September 1, 2018, to August 31, 2019. Based on these findings, no additional antidumping duties are expected for the companies reviewed. Interested parties have been invited to comment on the preliminary results.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Commerce checked if companies in Korea were selling certain steel pipes to the U.S. for less money than they should, and found that they weren't doing that this time, so no extra costs will be added. People who want to say something about this decision are welcome to share their thoughts.
