Antidumping Duties on Vietnamese Welded Stainless Steel Pressure Pipes Confirmed

Estimated reading time: 1–7 minutes

In May 2026, a notable decision was announced by the Department of Commerce in the United States. This decision is important for businesses involved in trade between the U.S. and Vietnam. It is about welded stainless steel pressure pipes from Vietnam.

The U.S. Department of Commerce completed its review of these pipes from Vietnam. They found that they were being sold at lower prices than normal in America. This was during a time from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.

Key Points of the Decision

The Department made a final decision that confirms earlier findings. They say that the Vietnam-wide entity has been selling these pipes at unfairly low prices. A “Vietnam-wide entity” means all companies from Vietnam selling these pipes.

The Vietnam-wide entity now has a duty rate of 90.80 percent. This means they must pay extra money when they sell these pipes in the U.S.

Important Dates and Information

  • This decision is effective from May 20, 2026.
  • The review checks whether any rules, like selling at low prices, were broken.
  • No new comments or changes came after their first findings in January.

Next Steps

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will now collect these duties. They will wait 35 days after May 20 to start. If anyone disagrees with this decision, they can go to the U.S. Court of International Trade.

Cash Deposit Requirements

  • Vietnam-wide entity must deposit 90.80 percent.
  • Others with special rates keep their rates.
  • No special rate? Then deposit 90.80 percent.

These deposits last until further notice.

Trade Compliance

It’s essential for importers to meet these new rules. If they don’t, they might have to pay even more.

The Department of Commerce reminded parties to handle any special information safely. They are responsible for its return or destruction after use.

Conclusion

This decision reinforces trade fairness rules between the U.S. and Vietnam for welded stainless steel pipes. The Department is clear about its findings and future expectations.
