U.S. IMPORTERS’ QUESTIONNAIRE
CIRCULAR WELDED CARBON-QUALITY STEEL PIPE FROM OMAN, PAKISTAN,
THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, AND VIETNAM
This questionnaire must be received by the Commission by August 12, 2016
See last page for filing instructions.
The information called for in this questionnaire is for use by the United States International Trade Commission in
connection with its countervailing duty and antidumping investigations concerning circular welded carbon-quality steel
pipe (“circular welded pipe”) from Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”), and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA549 and 731-TA-1299, 1300, 1302, and 1303 (Final)). The information requested in the questionnaire is requested under
the authority of the Tariff Act of 1930, title VII. This report is mandatory and failure to reply as directed can result in a
subpoena or other order to compel the submission of records or information in your firm’s possession (19 U.S.C. §
1333(a)). Further information on this questionnaire can be obtained from Jordan Harriman (202-205-2610,

U.S. Importers’ Questionnaire – Circular Welded Pipe

PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background. This proceeding was instituted in response to a petition filed on October 28, 2015, by Bull
Moose Tube Company, Chesterfield, MO; EXLTUBE, Kansas City, MO; Wheatland Tube, a division of JMC
Steel Group, Chicago, IL; and Western Tube & Conduit, Long Beach, CA. Countervailing and/or
antidumping duties may be assessed on the subject imports as a result of these proceedings if the
Commission makes an affirmative determination of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the U.S.
Department of Commerce makes an affirmative determination of subsidization and/or dumping.
Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this proceeding are available at
https://www.usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2016/circular_welded_carbon_quality_steel_pipe_oman/
final.htm
Circular welded pipe covered by these investigations is welded carbon-quality steel pipes and tube, of
circular cross-section, with an outside diameter (O.D.) not more than nominal 16 inches (406.4 mm),
regardless of wall thickness, surface finish (e.g., black, galvanized, or painted), end finish (plain end,
beveled end, grooved, threaded, or threaded and coupled), or industry specification (e.g., American
Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM), proprietary, or other), generally known as
standard pipe, fence pipe and tube, sprinkler pipe, and structural pipe (although subject product may
also be referred to as mechanical tubing). Specifically, the term “carbon quality” includes products in
which:
(a) iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other contained elements;
(b) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and
(c) none of the elements listed below exceeds the quantity, by weight, as indicated:
(i) 1.80 percent of manganese;
(ii) 2.25 percent of silicon;
(iii) 1.00 percent of copper;
(iv) 0.50 percent of aluminum;
(v) 1.25 percent of chromium;
(vi) 0.30 percent of cobalt;
(vii) 0.40 percent of lead;
(viii) 1.25 percent of nickel;
(ix) 0.30 percent of tungsten;
(x) 0.15 percent of molybdenum;
(xi) 0.10 percent of niobium;
(xii) 0.41 percent of titanium;
(xiii) 0.15 percent of vanadium; or
(xiv) 0.15 percent of zirconium.
Covered products are generally made to standard O.D. and wall thickness combinations. Pipe multistenciled to a standard and/or structural specification and to other specifications, such as American
Petroleum Institute (API) API-5L specification, may also be covered by the scope of these investigations.
In particular, such multi-stenciled merchandise is covered when it meets the physical description set
forth above, and also has one or more of the following characteristics: is 32 feet in length or less; is less
than 2.0 inches (50 mm) in outside diameter; has a galvanized and/or painted (e.g., polyester coated)
surface finish; or has a threaded and/or coupled end finish.

Standard pipe is ordinarily made to ASTM specifications A53, A135, and A795, but can also be made to
other specifications. Structural pipe is made primarily to ASTM specifications A252 and A500. Standard
and structural pipe may also be produced to proprietary specifications rather than to industry
specifications.
Sprinkler pipe is designed for sprinkler fire suppression systems and may be made to industry
specifications such as ASTM A53 or to proprietary specifications.
Fence tubing is included in the scope regardless of certification to a specification listed in the exclusions
below, and can also be made to the ASTM A513 specification. Products that meet the physical
description set forth above but are made to the following nominal outside diameter and wall thickness
combinations, which are recognized by the industry as typical for fence tubing, are included despite
being certified to ASTM mechanical tubing specifications:

The scope of this proceeding does not include:
(a) pipe suitable for use in boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, refining furnaces and feedwater
heaters, whether or not cold drawn, which are defined by standards such as ASTM A178 or ASTM A192;
(b) finished electrical conduit, i.e., Electrical Rigid Steel Conduit (also known as Electrical Rigid Metal
Conduit and Electrical Rigid Metal Steel Conduit), Finished Electrical Metallic Tubing, and Electrical
Intermediate Metal Conduit, which are defined by specifications such as American National Standard
(ANSI) C80.1-2005, ANSI C80.3-2005, or ANSI C80.6-2005, and Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. (UL) UL-6, UL-797, or UL-1242;
(c) finished scaffolding, i.e., component parts of final, finished scaffolding that enter the United States

contains, at the time of importation, all of the necessary component parts to fully assemble final,
finished scaffolding;
(d) tube and pipe hollows for redrawing;
(e) oil country tubular goods produced to API specifications;

FTZ, TIB, or bonded warehouses.--Please indicate whether your firm enters circular welded pipe
into, or withdraws such merchandise from, foreign trade zones or bonded warehouses. Also
indicate whether your firm imports circular welded pipe under the TIB (temporary importation
under bond) program.
“Foreign trade zone” is a designated location in the United States where firms utilize special
procedures that allow delayed or reduced customs duty payments on foreign merchandise, as
well as other savings. A foreign trade zone must be designed as such pursuant to the rules and
procedures set forth in the Foreign-Trade Zones Act.
“Bonded warehouse” is a secured facility supervised by U.S. customs, where dutiable landed
imports are stored pending their re-export, or release after payment of import duties, taxes, and
other charges. A bonded warehouse must be designed as such pursuant to the rules and
procedures set forth in 19 U.S.C. § 1555.
“Temporary Importation under Bond (“TIB”) program” is a procedure whereby imported
merchandise may be entered under certain conditions for a limited time into the United States
free of duty. Under the program, an importer posts a bond for twice the amount of duty, taxes,
etc. that would otherwise be owed on the importation and agrees to export or destroy the
merchandise within a specified time or pay liquidated damages. This program is restricted to
certain categories of merchandise listed in subheadings 9813.00.05 through 9813.00.75 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States(HTS).

length or less; is less than 2.0 inches (50 mm) in outside diameter; has a galvanized and/or
painted surface finish; or has a threaded and/or coupled end finish; see definitions in the
instruction booklet.). Circular welded pipe may also be certified to ASTM mechanical tubing
specifications (for purposes of these investigations, such pipe is considered to be “circular
welded pipe” if it meets the standard sizes, O.D., and wall thickness of standard, structural,
fence, or sprinkler pipe). Please report these imports in the following table only if they were
