Brazil’s Camex Management Executive Committee (Gecex) announced that it has imposed a five-year anti-dumping (AD) duty on Ukrainian seamless carbon steel pipes after reviewing the first AD sunset final ruling on the product.
The product involved is Ukrainian seamless carbon steel tubes with a diameter of less than five nominal inches (141.3 mm) which is used for oil and gas pipelines and classified as subitem 7304.19.00 under the Mercosur tax code.
The tax rate for Interpipe Niko Tube LLC and Interpipe NTRP was $145.26/mt, while for other Ukrainian countries, it was $708.60/m.
Vallourec Tubos do Brasil SA had filed a petition to initiate an AD probe on the said product in 2014 citing that the imports were damaging the domestic industry.
