E6-6362. Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe From the Czech Republic, Japan, Mexico, Romania, and South Africa

Determinations

On the basis of the record ^[1] developed in the subject five-year reviews, the United States International Trade Commission (Commission) determines, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the Act), that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from Japan and Romania ^[2] and large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.

The Commission also determines that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from the Czech Republic and South Africa ^[3] and large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from Mexico ^[4] would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.
