The Department of Internal Market Protection of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) has announced that it has decided to launch a sunset review on the antidumping duty on corrosion-resistant seamless pipes from China, due to the approaching expiry date. The request came from several Russian steelmakers.
The antidumping duty at 15.5 percent for China will expire in January 2025. Under the scope of the investigation, the commission will collect and analyze information as a case study for the resumption of dumping of imports and the causing of damage to the economy of the Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Armenia, unless the measure is imposed.
