Commerce Issues AD Order on Czech Seamless Pipe

The Commerce Department on April 23 released an antidumping duty order on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line and pressure pipe from the Czech Republic (A-851-804). AD duty rates were unchanged from Commerce’s final determinations, ranging from 51.07% to 51.7%. The 51.7% rate for both mandatory respondents was based on adverse facts available because of the mandatory respondents’ lack of participation, and the all-others rate based on a simple average of the dumping margins alleged in the petition. The order details a short three-day gap period, with the provisional measures period running four months from the Dec. 21 AD duty preliminary determination (unextended to six months). The International Trade Commission also published its final injury determination April 23.
