Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe From Oman, Pakistan,
and the United Arab Emirates: Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders
AGENCY: 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
carbon-quality 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
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 multi-stenciled
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.
[[Page 80525]]
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 ASTM A513 specification. Products that meet the physical
description set forth above but are made to the following nominal
outside diameter and wall thickness combinations, which are recognized
by the industry as typical for fence tubing, are included despite being
certified to ASTM mechanical tubing specifications:

The scope of these orders does not include:
(a) pipe suitable for use in boilers, superheaters, heat
exchangers, refining furnaces and feedwater heaters, whether or not
cold drawn, which are defined by standards such as ASTM A178 or ASTM
A192;
(b) finished electrical conduit, i.e., Electrical Rigid Steel
Conduit (also known as Electrical Rigid Metal Conduit and Electrical
Rigid Metal Steel Conduit), Finished Electrical Metallic Tubing, and
Electrical Intermediate Metal Conduit, which are defined by
specifications such as American National Standard (ANSI) C80.1-2005,
ANSI C80.3-2005, or ANSI C80.6-2005, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
(UL) UL-6, UL-797, or UL-1242;
(c) finished scaffolding, i.e., component parts of final, finished
scaffolding that enter the United States unassembled as a ``kit.'' A
kit is understood to mean a packaged combination of component parts
that contains, at the time of importation, all of the necessary
component parts to fully assemble final, finished scaffolding;
(d) tube and pipe hollows for redrawing;
(e) oil country tubular goods produced to API specifications;
(f) line pipe produced to only API specifications, such as API 5L,

The products subject to these orders are currently classifiable in
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) statistical
reporting numbers 7306.19.1010, 7306.19.1050, 7306.19.5110,
7306.19.5150, 7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5015, 7306.30.5020, 7306.30.5025,

subheadings above are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs
purposes only. The written description of the scope of the orders is
dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the AD orders would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby
orders the continuation of the AD orders on CWP from Oman, Pakistan,
and the UAE. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to
collect AD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry
for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the
continuation of the orders will be the date of publication in the
Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year
review of the orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This five-year sunset review and this notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1)
of the Act.
Dated: December 23, 2022.
