24 April 2017

The United States is to introduce anti-dumping duties on Spanish exporters of finished carbon steel flanges, typically used to connect pipes, among other things.

Commerce said it had determined that finished carbon steel flanges had been sold by Spanish exporters at below Spanish domestic market prices in the US. In its final determination, Commerce said duties would range between 18.81 percent and 24.42 percent.

Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross said: "The Department of Commerce is committed to protecting US companies being hurt by foreign manufacturers that refuse to play fair."
