Ukraine has extended anti-dumping duties on Chinese steel pipes for five years
The Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade (ICIT) has decided to extend anti-dumping measures against imports into Ukraine of seamless hot-rolled steel pipes of Chinese origin for another five years.
This is stated in a commission announcement.
The commission made this decision after reviewing the existing restrictions, a review initiated at the request of Ukrainian manufacturer Interpipe Niko Tube LLC, owned by businessman Viktor Pinchuk.
The statement notes that during the investigation, which covered the period from 2022 to the first quarter of 2025, it was established that Chinese products were being supplied to Ukraine at dumping prices.
At the same time, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade emphasized that the current anti-dumping measures have partially mitigated the harm caused to Ukrainian producers by cheap imports from China.
The commission also drew attention to China’s significant production capacity.
“China has a significant amount of unused production capacity for the product under review, which exceeded the volume of consumption of such goods in Ukraine,” the statement reads.
The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade believes that the removal of duties could lead to a new surge in dumping and cause harm to Ukrainian industry.
“The termination of anti-dumping measures on imports into Ukraine of seamless hot-rolled steel pipes originating in China is likely to result in the resumption of dumping and the infliction of injury,” the commission noted.
As a result, the ICIT extended the anti-dumping duty for Chinese manufacturers and exporters at a rate of 51.52% for a period of five years. Additionally, the voluntary price undertaking for DP-Master Manufacturing will remain in effect for another year.
In addition, in May 2025, the commission had already extended the anti-dumping duties on imports of anti-corrosion coated rolled metal from China at a rate of 22.78%for five years.
