Falls Church, VA (AIIS) - Both the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have made affirmative determinations in their separate sunset reviews of the antidumping (AD) orders on welded ASTM A-312 stainless steel pipe from Korea and Taiwan. These orders were originally issued in December 1992. Both agencies conducted expedited reviews with the DOC finding that revocation of these orders would be likely to lead to the continuation of dumping and the ITC finding that revocation of these orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry. As the result of these determinations, the orders on welded ASTM A-312 stainless steel pipe from Korea and Taiwan will remain in place.

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.  The Commission’s public report Welded ASTM A-312 Stainless Steel Pipe from Korea and Taiwan, Inv. Nos. 731-TA-540-541 (Fourth Review), USITC Publication 4687, May 2017, will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.

Australia Reviews Anti-Dumping Duties on Galvanized Steel from India, Malaysia, Vietnam Amid Zinc Concerns
On September 9, 2026, Australia initiated its second sunset review of anti-dumping measures on galvanized steel sheet from India, Malaysia and Vietnam, and separately launched a sunset review of countervailing measures on imports from India. The review covers July 2025-June 2026, with the final report expected by February 11, 2027. As galvanized steel is the largest end-use sector for zinc, the measures directly affect export costs and competitiveness, potentially impacting Australia’s domestic zinc demand and supply chain. Maintaining the duties would provide some protection for domestic steel and coating capacity, while termination could increase low-priced imports and affect regional zinc consumption. The final outcome remains subject to the authorities’ determination.
