The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed an expedited sunset review of the countervailing duty order on circular welded carbon quality steel line pipe from China. The findings indicate that revoking this order would likely result in the continuation or reoccurrence of subsidies. As such, Commerce has published the final results showing the countervailable subsidy rates, ensuring that duties remain in place to counteract these subsidies. The decision is part of a routine review process governed by trade regulations.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce looked at some rules about special money helpers (subsidies) for pipe makers in China. They decided to keep extra money charges on Chinese pipes to make things fair for American pipe makers.
