Mexico Initiates Expiry Review of its Antidumping Duty Measure on Carbon Steel Pipe with Straight Longitudinal and Helical Seams from the United States and India
On April 6, 2026, Mexico’s International Trade Practices Unit (UPCI) initiated an expiry review of its antidumping duty measure on imports of carbon steel pipe with straight longitudinal and helical seams (certain carbon steel pipe and tube) from the United States and India. Mexico’s AD measure on certain carbon steel pipe and tubes has been in place since April 20, 2016. The AD duties currently in place for U.S. producers/exporters are $575.01 USD per metric ton (56.44 percent ad valorem).
What is an expiry review?
An expiry review is also known as a sunset review, and its purpose is to determine whether the revocation of the AD or countervailing duty measure would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping or unfair subsidization and material injury to the domestic industry. The measure may only be extended beyond five years, counting from the date on which a measure was first instituted or the most recently completed expiry review, if both conditions are met.
