[India extends AD duties on China's seamless steel tubes until Jan 27, 2027]

Published: Jul 9, 2026 16:29
India has extended AD duties on seamless tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles of iron, alloy or non-alloy steel from China until January 27, 2027. The extension gives the DGTR time to complete the sunset review initiated in March to assess whether terminating measures would renew dumping and harm domestic industries. Local producers Jindal Saw, Kirloskar Ferrous, and Maharashtra Seamless requested the continuation, arguing Chinese dumped imports persist and seeking higher duties, but proposed excluding OCTG from the probe. The duties were first imposed in 2017 and extended in 2021, originally set to expire on October 27, 2026. The review covers products under tariff heading 7304 with outer diameter not exceeding 355.6 mm.
