Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel
Pipe From Oman, Pakistan, and the
United Arab Emirates: Continuation of
Antidumping Duty Orders
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the U.S. Department
of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) orders on circular welded carbonquality steel pipe (CWP) from Oman,
Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, Commerce is publishing
a notice of continuation of the AD
orders.

DATES:
Applicable December 30, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2021, Commerce
initiated a five-year sunset review of the
AD orders on CWP from Oman,
Pakistan, and the UAE, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).1 As a result of its
review, Commerce determined that
revocation of the AD orders on CWP
from Oman, Pakistan, and the UAE
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail should the
orders be revoked.2 On December 23,
2022, the ITC published its
determination, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
AD orders on CWP from Oman,
Pakistan, and the UAE would likely lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the

Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders are welded carbon-quality steel
pipes and tube, of circular cross-section,
with an outside diameter (O.D.) not
more than nominal 16 inches (406.4
mm), regardless of wall thickness,
surface finish (e.g., black, galvanized, or
painted), end finish (plain end, beveled
end, grooved, threaded, or threaded and
coupled), or industry specification (e.g.,
American Society for Testing and
Materials International (ASTM),
proprietary, or other), generally known
as standard pipe, fence pipe and tube,
sprinkler pipe, and structural pipe
(although subject product may also be
referred to as mechanical tubing).
Specifically, the term ‘‘carbon quality’’
includes products in which:
(a) iron predominates, by weight, over
each of the other contained elements;
(b) the carbon content is 2 percent or
less, by weight; and
(c) none of the elements listed below
exceeds the quantity, by weight, as
indicated:
(i) 1.80 percent of manganese;
(ii) 2.25 percent of silicon;
(iii) 1.00 percent of copper;
(iv) 0.50 percent of aluminum;
(v) 1.25 percent of chromium;
(vi) 0.30 percent of cobalt;
(vii) 0.40 percent of lead;
(viii) 1.25 percent of nickel;
(ix) 0.30 percent of tungsten;
(x) 0.15 percent of molybdenum;
(xi) 0.10 percent of niobium;
(xii) 0.41 percent of titanium;
(xiii) 0.15 percent of vanadium; or
(xiv) 0.15 percent of zirconium.
Covered products are generally made
to standard O.D. and wall thickness
combinations. Pipe multi-stenciled to a
standard and/or structural specification
and to other specifications, such as
American Petroleum Institute (API)
API–5L specification, may also be
covered by the scope of these
investigations. In particular, such multistenciled merchandise is covered when
it meets the physical description set
forth above, and also has one or more
of the following characteristics: is 32
feet in length or less; is less than 2.0
inches (50 mm) in outside diameter; has
a galvanized and/or painted (e.g.,
polyester coated) surface finish; or has
a threaded and/or coupled end finish.

Standard pipe is ordinarily made to
ASTM specifications A53, A135, and
A795, but can also be made to other
specifications. Structural pipe is made
primarily to ASTM specifications A252
and A500. Standard and structural pipe
may also be produced to proprietary
specifications rather than to industry
specifications.
Sprinkler pipe is designed for
sprinkler fire suppression systems and
may be made to industry specifications
such as ASTM A53 or to proprietary
specifications.
Fence tubing is included in the scope
regardless of certification to a
specification listed in the exclusions
below, and can also be made to the
