DGTR extends steel pipes questionnaire deadline to May 19
Interested parties in steel-pipes review must file responses by May 19
Change
India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies extended the questionnaire-response deadline to May 19, 2026 in the sunset review of anti-dumping duties on seamless tubes, pipes and hollow profiles from China PR.
Why it matters
The clarification fixes the product scope and PCN methodology for the sunset review. Interested parties that want their questionnaire responses considered in the investigation must file within the extended timeline.
Implications
- — Exporters and foreign producers of covered seamless tubes and pipes in China PR must file questionnaire responses by May 19, 2026 — late filing falls outside DGTR’s extended response window.
- — Indian importers of covered seamless tubes and pipes must file questionnaire responses by May 19, 2026 if participating as interested parties — missing the deadline leaves their response outside the set timeline.
- — Domestic Indian producers participating in the sunset review must align responses to the clarified product scope and adopted PCN methodology — filings based on a different scope or methodology risk procedural mismatch.
Who is affected
- — Exporters and foreign producers of covered seamless tubes and pipes in China PR
- — Indian importers of covered seamless tubes and pipes
- — Domestic Indian producers participating in the sunset review
What to watch
- — May 19, 2026: extended deadline for questionnaire responses in DGTR sunset review AD/SSR/004/2026.
