US issues sunset-review ruling on Chinese line pipe

The US Department of Commerce has ruled that revoking countervailing duty (CVD) orders on circular welded carbon quality steel line pipe from China would likely lead to the persistence of subsidies. 

In the final results of an expedited sunset review, Commerce has calculated subsidy rates of 32.65% for Huludao Seven Star Steel Pipe Group and its affiliates, 40.05% for Liaoning Northern Steel Pipe Co, and 36.35% for all others. 

The American Line Pipe Producers Association Welded Line Pipe Committee is the interested party taking part in this sunset review. Kallanish understands from the Federal Register.

The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the US (HTSUS) subheadings applicable to the subject line pipe merchandise include 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, 7306.30.50.90, 7306.50.10.00, 7306.50.50.50, 7306.50.50.70, 7306.19.10.10, 7306.19.10.50, 7306.19.51.10 and 7306.19.51.50.
