U.S. small diameter welded steel line pipe producers Tex Tube Co. TMK IPSCO Tubulars, Northwest Pipe, ACIPCO, and Stupp Corp. applauded the unanimous affirmative injury determination that subsidized imports of small diameter welded line pipe 16" O.D. and under from China injured or threatened the domestic industry. The vote will allow the Dept. of Commerce to issue a countervailing duty order to offset Chinese government subsidies ranging from 35% to 40%. The petition was filed last April.
