Welded Line Pipe from South Korea and Turkey: Scheduling of Expedited Five-Year Reviews

Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has officially announced its schedule for expedited five-year reviews concerning welded line pipe imports. These reviews aim to assess whether canceling the antidumping duty orders on welded line pipe from South Korea and Turkey, as well as the countervailing duty order on similar products from Turkey, might cause continued harm to U.S. industries.

The Commission initially declared its intention to conduct these reviews on August 4, 2026. The domestic parties responded adequately to this notice. However, the response from the respondent interested party group was deemed inadequate. This lack of adequate response led to the decision to proceed with expedited reviews. Commissioner Amy A. Karpel did not take part in this decision.

Interested parties are invited to submit written comments related to the determinations of these reviews. The deadline for these submissions is October 29, 2026. It is important to note that these comments should not include any new factual information. If the Department of Commerce extends its review timeline, comments on their final results must be submitted within three business days.

The USITC staff will prepare a report to be included in the nonpublic record. It will be available to those on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews by October 22, 2026. A public version will be released later.

The reviews have been classified as extraordinarily complicated. Therefore, the USITC has decided to extend the review period by up to 90 days. This action is authorized by the Tariff Act of 1930.

All documents filed by parties must be served on all other parties involved in the reviews. A certificate of service is required for the acceptance of the documents for filing.

Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission, issued this order, confirming the scheduling and procedural details. The USITC has published this information under the specific authority granted by the Tariff Act of 1930.
