US Department of Commerce announced the initiation of a new antidumping investigation to determine whether seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Vietnam is being dumped in the United States. In the AD investigation, Commerce will determine whether imports of seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Vietnam are being dumped in the US market at less-than-fair value. The alleged dumping margin is 111.82 percent. If Commerce makes an affirmative finding in this investigation, and if the US International Trade Commission determines that dumped imports of seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Vietnam materially injure, or threaten material injury to, the US industry, Commerce will impose duties on those imports in the amount of dumping found to exist.

The petition was filed by the American Copper Tube Coalition and its constituent members which include Mueller Copper Tube Products Inc, Mueller Copper Tube West Co, Mueller Copper Tube Company Inc, Howell Metal Company and Linesets Inc and Cerro Flow Products LLC

The 2019, imports of seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Vietnam were valued at approximately USD 146.5 million.
