Orders on Welded Carbon Steel Pipe
from India, Thailand and Turkey, and

SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty

pipe and tube from Brazil, Mexico, and
Republic of Korea (Korea), and
antidumping duty orders on welded
carbon steel pipe from India, Thailand
and Turkey, and countervailing duty
order on welded carbon steel standard
pipe from Turkey, would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and countervailable subsidies, and
material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing notice of continuation of
these antidumping and countervailing
duty orders.

The merchandise subject to this
countervailing duty order is certain
welded carbon steel pipe and tube with
an outside diameter of 0.375 inch or
more, but not over 16 inches, of any
wall thickness (‘‘pipe and tube’’). These
products are currently provided for
under the HTSUS as item numbers

Background
On July 5, 2005, the Department
initiated and the ITC instituted sunset
reviews of the antidumping duty orders
on circular welded non–alloy pipe and
tube from Brazil, Mexico, and Korea,
antidumping duty orders on welded
carbon steel pipe from India, Thailand
and Turkey, and countervailing duty
order on welded carbon steel standard
pipe from Turkey, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). See Initiation of
Five–Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews; 70 FR
38101 (July 1, 2005), and ITC notice of
institution on Certain Pipe and Tube
From Argentina, Brazil, India, Korea,
Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey;
70 FR 38204 (July 1, 2005)
As a result of its review, the
Department found that revocation of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and
countervailable subsidies, and notified
the ITC of the magnitude of the margins

and the net countervailable subsidies
likely to prevail were the orders to be
revoked. See Certain Circular Welded
Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from
India, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey,

Sunset Review: Welded Carbon Steel
Standard Pipe from Turkey; 70 FR
62097 (October 28, 2005).
On July 25, 2006, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on circular welded non–alloy
pipe and tube from Brazil, Mexico,
Korea, the antidumping duty orders on
welded carbon steel pipe from India,
Thailand and Turkey, and the
countervailing duty order on welded
carbon steel standard pipe from Turkey,
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See Certain
Pipe and Tube from Argentina, Brazil,
India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand,
and Turkey; 71 FR 42118 (July 25,
2006), and USITC Publication 3867 (July
2006), (Inv. Nos. 701–TA–253 and 731–
TA–132, 252, 271, 409–410, 532–534,
and 536) (Second Review)).
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of these antidumping and
countervailing duty orders would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and countervailable subsidies,
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping duty orders on circular
welded non–alloy pipes and tubes from
Brazil, Mexico, and Korea, the
antidumping duty orders on welded
carbon steel pipes from India, Thailand
and Turkey, and the countervailing duty
order on welded carbon steels standard
pipes from Turkey.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) will continue to collect
antidumping and countervailing duty
cash deposits at the rates in effect at the
time of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise.
The effective date of continuation of
these orders will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this Notice of Continuation. Pursuant to
sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6)(A) of
the Act, the Department intends to
initiate the next five–year reviews of
these orders not later than July 2011.

order is dispositive.
Background
On July 5, 2005, the Department initiated and the ITC instituted
sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on circular welded non-
alloy pipe and tube from Brazil, Mexico, and Korea, antidumping duty
orders on welded carbon steel pipe from India, Thailand and Turkey, and
countervailing duty order on welded carbon steel standard pipe from
Turkey, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'')
Reviews; 70 FR 38101 (July 1, 2005), and ITC notice of institution on
Certain Pipe and Tube From Argentina, Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico,
Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey; 70 FR 38204 (July 1, 2005)
As a result of its review, the Department found that revocation of
the antidumping and countervailing duty orders would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies,
and notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins and the net
countervailable subsidies likely to prevail were the orders to be
revoked. See Certain Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from
India, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey, and Circular Welded Non-Alloy
Steel Pipe from Brazil, Republic of Korea, Mexico, and Taiwan; Notice
of Final Results of Expedited Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews of
Antidumping Duty Orders; 70 FR 67662 (November 8, 2005), and Final
Results of Expedited Sunset Review: Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe
from Turkey; 70 FR 62097 (October 28, 2005).
On July 25, 2006, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on circular
welded non-alloy pipe and tube from Brazil, Mexico, Korea, the
antidumping duty orders on welded carbon steel pipe from India,
Thailand and Turkey, and the countervailing duty order on welded carbon
steel standard pipe from Turkey, would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States
within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Certain Pipe and Tube from
Argentina, Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey;
71 FR 42118 (July 25, 2006), and USITC Publication 3867 (July 2006),
(Inv. Nos. 701-TA-253 and 731-TA-132, 252, 271, 409-410, 532-534, and
536) (Second Review)).
As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC
that revocation of these antidumping and countervailing duty orders
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and
countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping duty orders on
circular welded non-alloy pipes and tubes from Brazil, Mexico, and
Korea, the antidumping duty orders on welded carbon steel pipes from
India, Thailand and Turkey, and the countervailing duty order on welded
carbon steels standard pipes from Turkey.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will continue to collect
antidumping and countervailing duty cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of continuation of these orders will be the date
of publication in the Federal Register of this Notice of Continuation.
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6)(A) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next five-year reviews of these
orders not later than July 2011.

section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1)
