Last week, the International Trade Commission (ITC) voted unanimously in favor of Charlotte Pipe and Foundry in their anti-dumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) petition against imports of cast iron soil pipe from the People’s Republic of China.

A vote in favor of Charlotte Pipe and Foundry means the U.S. Department of Commerce determined that Chinese producers or exporters undersold the subsidized cast iron soil pipe in the US. AD/CVD duties are to level the playing field and cast iron soil pipe imported into the US from China will include duties ranging 251% to 345%. These additional duties go info effect immediately.

If you are a Chinese exporter or want to know how these new duties impact your business – regardless of whether you import or export, give David Hsu a call at 832-896-6288 or email at attorney.dave@yahoo.com.
