AD/CVD administrative reviews open respondent filing deadlines

Separate-rate applications and certifications for covered non-market-economy respondents are due 14 calendar days after publication, and certification-eligibility applications are due 30 calendar days after publication. Commerce also initiated the listed AD and CVD administrative reviews, covering the specified countries, products, companies, case numbers, and periods of review.

The filing deadlines reach exporters and producers seeking separate-rate treatment, firms seeking certification eligibility, producers or exporters reporting no exports, sales, or entries during the period of review, parties seeking to withdraw a review request, and domestic interested parties requesting a duty-absorption review. The notice gives those parties 30-day, 90-day, and other review-specific windows, while respondent selection and comments proceed on separate five-, seven-, 35-, and rebuttal-comment schedules; the applicable case, party status, and review type determine which obligation applies.

India and Türkiye welded stainless pipe investigations open filing deadlines

Scope comments are due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2026, with rebuttal comments due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 3, 2026, in Commerce's newly initiated countervailing duty investigations of welded stainless line and pressure pipe from India and Türkiye. India producers and exporters may submit quantity-and-value questionnaire responses by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 18, 2026. All submissions must be filed electronically through ACCESS and received successfully in full by the applicable deadline.

The scope reaches circular welded austenitic stainless line and pressure pipe of any diameter from India and Türkiye, including merchandise meeting the listed ASTM, ASME, API, or comparable specifications. It excludes welded stainless mechanical tubing; specified boiler, heat exchanger, superheater, refining furnace, feedwater heater, and condenser tubing; specialized tubing; tubing with a wall thickness below 1.65 mm; and products covered by the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on welded stainless pressure pipe from India. The written scope controls over the listed HTSUS classifications.

The notice does not establish a countervailing duty rate or impose cash-deposit requirements. Commerce is investigating alleged subsidies under 17 programs for India and 32 programs for Türkiye, and the investigations may terminate for either country if the International Trade Commission makes a negative preliminary injury determination. Commerce states that its preliminary determinations are due no later than 65 days after the August 4, 2026 initiation date unless postponed.

Welded stainless pipe investigations open with estimated margins up to 187.33%

Antidumping investigations now cover welded stainless pipe from India, Türkiye, and the United Arab Emirates, while countervailing duty investigations cover the merchandise from India and Türkiye. Commerce estimated dumping margins of 89.74–187.33 percent for India, 19.54–127.36 percent for Türkiye, and 57.04–113.19 percent for the UAE. These are initiation estimates, not final duty or cash-deposit rates. The investigations are applicable August 4, 2026, and Commerce states that preliminary determinations are due no later than 140 days after initiation unless postponed.

The scope reaches circular welded austenitic stainless line and pressure pipe of any diameter from the three named countries, including merchandise meeting the listed ASTM, ASME, API 5LC, or comparable specifications. It excludes welded stainless mechanical tubing; specified boiler, heat-exchanger, superheater, refining-furnace, feedwater-heater, and condenser tubing; specialized tubing; tubing with a wall thickness below 1.65 mm; and products covered by the existing India welded stainless pressure pipe orders. The written scope controls over the listed HTSUS provisions. Interested parties must file scope and product-characteristic comments through ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. ET on August 24, 2026, and rebuttals by 5:00 p.m. ET on September 3, 2026. Indian producers and exporters may submit Q&V responses by 5:00 p.m. ET on August 18, 2026; parties addressing Türkiye or UAE CBP data and respondent selection have three business days after publication to comment, with no rebuttal comments accepted. Later PMS allegations have separate deadlines tied to questionnaire responses: 20 days after an initial section D response for cost-based allegations and 10 days after an initial section B response for sales-based allegations.

The notice does not establish whether duties will ultimately be assessed. The ITC must first make a preliminary injury determination within 45 days after the July 15, 2026 petition date; a negative determination for a country terminates that country's investigation, while otherwise the investigations continue under the applicable statutory and regulatory schedule.
