According to the final results of the expedited sunset review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on circular welded carbon quality steel line pipes (welded line pipes) from China, the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) found that revoking the existing CVD order on the subject products from China would be likely to result in the continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies.

Therefore, a subsidy rate of 32.65% was assigned to Huludao Seven-Star Steel Pipe Group and its affiliates, 40.05% was set for Liaoning Northern Steel Pipe, and all other producers/exporters received 36.35%.

The products involved are under HTSUS subheadings 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, 7306.30.50.90, 7306.50.10.00, 7306.50.50.50, 7306.50.50.70, 7306.19.10.10, 7306.19.10.50, 7306.19.51.10, and 7306.19.51.50.
