The European Commission (EC) has announced that it has lowered the antidumping (AD) duty imposed on seamless steel pipe imports from Russia-based TMK, one of the world's leading oil and gas steel pipe producers.
The antidumping duty rate for the Russian pipe producer has been reduced to 28.7 percent from 35.8 percent, the Russia-wide antidumping duty rate imposed in July 2011.
The EC decided to impose antidumping duties on seamless steel pipe imports from Russia, Ukraine and Croatia in 2006.
