U.S. Government Announces Preliminary Results in Antidumping Case

Estimated reading time: 2–4 minutes

The U.S. Department of Commerce has taken steps in an important trade case. The department looked at whether a Turkish company sold steel pipes in the U.S. for less than the normal value during a certain period.

Background of the Case

The case is about circular welded carbon steel pipes from Turkey. This review is for the time between May 1, 2024, and April 30, 2025. Borusan Birleşik Boru, a company from Turkey, is the only company being looked at in this review.

In 1986, the U.S. started putting antidumping duties on these products because they believed they were being sold in the U.S. for less than they should be. In 2025, Borusan asked for a review of these duties.

Preliminary Findings

The Commerce Department found that Borusan did sell the steel pipes at less than the normal value. This could mean that their prices in the U.S. were unfair and harmed American companies.

The department used specific rules and laws to figure this out. They examined how the pipes were sold and compared the prices. They followed the law set in the Tariff Act of 1930 to make their decision.

Weighted Average Dumping Margin

For the period being reviewed, the department found that Borusan’s dumping margin was 4.91 percent. This number shows how much lower their prices were compared to what would be normal.

Next Steps and Comments

Commerce has shared these preliminary results so that interested parties can comment on them. People can send their thoughts on the findings for the next few weeks. Both case briefs and rebuttal briefs can be submitted to provide different perspectives.

Future Actions

The final decision on this review will come within 120 days from now. Depending on the results, Borusan might have to pay more duties.

Responsibilities for Importers

Importers need to pay attention to this review. They have to file a special certificate if they want to avoid extra duties. The U.S. government might assume they are not following the rules if they do not file this certificate properly.

This preliminary decision is an important step in making sure trade is fair. The U.S. government is working to ensure American companies can compete on a level playing field with foreign products.
