Book Description

The original investigations of CWP from China were instituted in response to petitions filed on June 7, 2007, by Allied Tube and Conduit ("Allied"), IPSCO Tubulars, Inc., Northwest Pipe Company, Sharon Tube Company, Western Tube & Conduit Corporation ("Western Tube"), Wheatland Tube Company, and the United Steelworkers, a labor union whose members are engaged in the production of CWP.2 In July 2008, the Commission determined that an industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of imports of CWP from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce had determined to be subsidized and sold at less than fair value.3 Commerce issued antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on imports of CWP from China on July 22, 2008.4 The Commission instituted these reviews on June 3, 2013.5 The Commission received one substantive joint response to the notice of institution from U.S. producers United States Steel Corp., Allied, EXLTUBE, Maruichi American Corp., TMK-IPSCO, Western Tube, and JMC Steel Group (collectively "the domestic producers").6 It did not receive a response from any respondent interested party. On September 6, 2013, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act.7
