Oman-based steelmaker Al Jazeera Steel Products Company has announced that it is strongly contesting the decision of the United States Department of Commerce (US DOC) to impose preliminary antidumping (AD) duty of 7.86 percent on imports of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman and believes that the determined margin will not have a material impact on the company’s revenue and profit.
On June 1, the US DOC announced its preliminary dumping margins regarding the imports of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Vietnam, stating that the products are being or likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value.
