India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry announced its final affirmative determination of anti-dumping (AD) on welded stainless steel pipes and tubes from Thailand and Vietnam, ruling that a five-year AD measure will be imposed on the subject products, with a duty rate of US$0-246.49/ton on Thailand and US$0-307.79/ton on Vietnam.
As India ruled to impose a countervailing duty (CVD) on the same products from Vietnam in June this year, the AD duty rate on Vietnam is the difference between the AD duty confirmed this time and the CVD duty confirmed in June.
The products involved are under HS codes 73064000, 73066100, 73066900, 73041110, 73041190, 73044100, 73045110, 73049000, 73051129, 73059099, 73061100, 73062100, 73062919, 73063090, 73065000, 73069011, 73069019, and 73069090.
