U.S companies Seeks Anti dumping duties on Indian Steel Pipes

Major U.S Companies dealing in manufacture , supply and export of Steel Pipes has urged the

regulators in U.S to apply anti-dumping duties on welded stainless pressure pipes imported from India.

Increasing Imports of Welded stainless pressure pipe from India at price lower than U.S markets from past three years
is turning out to be a big concern for these companies as the imports rised from 12,101 tones to 281 tons from 2012 to 2014

Synalloy’s unit Bristol Metals LLC, along with Felker Brothers Corp, Outokumpu Stainless Pipe Inc and

Marcegaglia USA, has petitioned the Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to take action.

Earlier a group of U.S steel pipe producers had already sought duties in July 2015 on imports
of welded carbon steel pipes from Turkey, Mexico , South Korea.

ITC is likely to review the petition within 45 days and implement the recommendations by 2016 .
