U.S. international trade Commission to Launch Full Reviews of Anti-Dumping Duties on Steel Pipe Imports
WASHINGTON – The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) announced today it will proceed with comprehensive five-year reviews of anti-dumping duty orders impacting imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China, Mexico, South Korea, and Turkey. The determination, made November 24, 2025, initiates a process that could reaffirm, modify, or revoke existing trade restrictions.
These reviews, mandated under section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), are critical for U.S. steel producers who allege unfair pricing practices by foreign competitors. The outcome will directly affect import costs for construction,energy,and manufacturing sectors reliant on these steel products,and influence the competitive landscape for both domestic and international suppliers. The USITC’s decision follows responses to its notice of institution published July 1, 2025 (90 FR 28771).
The Commission deemed responses from the domestic and respondent interested party groups in Mexico adequate, triggering a full review of the order concerning imports from that country. While finding responses from China, South Korea, and Turkey inadequate, the USITC opted to conduct full reviews for those nations as well, citing administrative efficiency given the broader review of Mexico. this approach aims to streamline the process and provide a comprehensive assessment of market conditions.
The USITC is conducting these reviews under the authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930, guided by § 207.62 of its rules. A record of the Commissioners’ votes will be available from the Office of the Secretary and on the Commission’s website. the reviews are being overseen by Lisa barton, Secretary to the Commission, who issued the notice December 3, 2025.
