The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that revoking the antidumping duty order on welded large diameter line pipes from Japan would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of dumping. This could lead to dumping margins of up to 30.80 percent. The review process was expedited since there was no significant response from other interested parties apart from domestic manufacturers. This decision ensures that the antidumping duties remain in place to protect U.S. manufacturers from unfair trade practices.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce says if they stop a special extra charge on big metal pipes from Japan, Japan might sell them at unfairly low prices in the U.S. This extra charge helps protect American pipe-makers from losing money.
