PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background.‐‐ This proceeding was instituted in response to a petition filed on January 17, 2018, by
American Cast Iron Pipe Company (Birmingham, Alabama), Berg Steel Pipe Corp. (Panama City, Florida),
Berg Spiral Pipe Corp. (Mobile, Alabama), Dura‐Bond Industries, Inc. (Export, Pennsylvania), Skyline Steel
(Newington, Virginia), and Stupp Corporation (Baton Rouge, Louisiana). Countervailing and/or
antidumping duties may be assessed on the subject imports as a result of these proceedings if the
Commission makes an affirmative determination of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the U.S.
Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) makes an affirmative determination of subsidization and/or
dumping. Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this proceeding are available at
https://www.usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2018/large_diameter_welded_pipe_canada_china_greec
e/final.htm.
Large diameter welded pipe (LDWP) covered by these investigations is welded carbon and alloy steel
pipe (including stainless steel pipe), more than 406.4 mm (16 inches) in nominal outside diameter (large
diameter welded pipe), regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish, grade, end finish, or
stenciling. Large diameter welded pipe may be used to transport oil, gas, slurry, steam, or other fluids,
liquids, or gases. It may also be used for structural purposes, including, but not limited to, piling.
Specifically, not included is large diameter welded pipe produced only to specifications of the American
Water Works Association (AWWA) for water and sewage pipe.
Large diameter welded pipe used to transport oil, gas, or natural gas liquids is normally produced to the
American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L. Large diameter welded pipe may also be produced
to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards A500, A252, or A53, or other relevant
domestic specifications, grades and/or standards. Large diameter welded pipe can be produced to
comparable foreign specifications, grades and/or standards or to proprietary specifications, grades
and/or standards, or can be non‐graded material. All pipe meeting the physical description set forth
above is covered by the scope of this investigation, whether or not produced according to a particular
standard.
Subject merchandise also includes large diameter welded pipe that has been further processed in a third
country, including but not limited to coating, painting, notching, beveling, cutting, punching, welding, or
any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the
investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the in‐scope large diameter welded pipe.
Excluded from the countervailing duty investigation against Turkey are any products covered by the
existing countervailing duty order on welded line pipe from the Republic of Turkey. See Welded Line
Pipe from the Republic of Turkey: Countervailing Duty Order, 80 FR 75054 (December 1, 2015).
Excluded from the antidumping duty investigations against Korea and Turkey are any products covered
by the existing antidumping duty orders on welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey, respectively. See
Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Turkey: Antidumping Duty Orders, 80
FR 75056 (December 1, 2015). Also excluded from the antidumping duty investigation against Korea are
any products covered by the existing antidumping order on welded ASTM A‐312 stainless steel pipe
from Korea. See Welded ASTM A‐312 Stainless Steel Pipe from South Korea: Antidumping Duty Order,
57 FR 62300 (December 30, 1992). While merchandise under existing antidumping duty orders against
Korea are excluded from their corresponding investigations in these proceedings, data requested in the
Commission’s questionnaires may still require the reporting of such excluded merchandise due to
potential changes to the final margin findings by the Department of Commerce (see questions II‐13
through II‐17).

7305.39.5000. While the HTSUS statistical reporting numbers are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
LDW line pipe.‐‐Large diameter welded pipe of a kind used for oil and gas pipelines and normally
produced to the API specification 5L. Large diameter welded line pipe can also be produced to
comparable domestic or foreign specifications or to proprietary grades.
LDW structural pipe.‐‐Large diameter welded pipe normally produced to ASTM standards A500, A252,
or A53. Large diameter welded structural pipe can also be produced to comparable domestic or foreign
specifications or to proprietary grades, or be non‐graded material.
Reporting of information.‐‐ If information is not readily available from your records, provide carefully
prepared estimates. If your firm is completing more than one questionnaire (i.e., a producer, importer,
and/or purchaser questionnaire), you need not respond to duplicated questions.
Confidentiality.‐‐The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. § 1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a
manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
Verification.‐‐The information submitted in this questionnaire is subject to audit and verification by the
Commission. To facilitate possible verification of data, please keep all files, worksheets, and supporting
documents used in the preparation of the questionnaire response. Please also retain a copy of the final
document that you submit.
Release of information.‐‐The information provided by your firm in response to this questionnaire, as
well as any other business proprietary information submitted by your firm to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding, may become subject to, and released under, the administrative
protective order provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1677f) and section 207.7 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.7). This means that certain lawyers and
other authorized individuals may temporarily be given access to the information for use in connection
with this proceeding or other import‐injury proceedings conducted by the Commission on the same or
similar merchandise; those individuals would be subject to severe penalties if the information were
divulged to unauthorized individuals.
Valid number error messages.‐‐If you are completing this form in a country that uses periods (“.”) to
delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would appear as $1.000.000 rather than $1,000,000), you
may be unable to enter in numbers greater than 999 in numeric form fields. The solution to this data
entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number formatting to be consistent with
the U.S. number formatting system while you complete this form. Detailed instructions on how to
resolve this issue is provided at the end of this questionnaire and is available upon request from Abu B.
Kanu 202‐205‐2597, abu.kanu@usitc.gov).

FTZ, TIB, or bonded warehouses.‐‐Please indicate whether your firm enters LDWP into, or
withdraws such merchandise from, foreign trade zones or bonded warehouses. Also indicate
whether your firm imports LDWP under the TIB (temporary importation under bond) program.
“Foreign trade zone” is a designated location in the United States where firms utilize special
procedures that allow delayed or reduced customs duty payments on foreign merchandise, as
well as other savings. A foreign trade zone must be designed as such pursuant to the rules and
procedures set forth in the Foreign‐Trade Zones Act.
“Bonded warehouse” is a secured facility supervised by U.S. customs, where dutiable landed
imports are stored pending their re‐export, or release after payment of import duties, taxes, and
other charges. A bonded warehouse must be designed as such pursuant to the rules and
procedures set forth in 19 U.S.C. § 1555.
“Temporary Importation under Bond (“TIB”) program” is a procedure whereby imported
merchandise may be entered under certain conditions for a limited time into the United States
free of duty. Under the program, an importer posts a bond for twice the amount of duty, taxes,
etc. that would otherwise be owed on the importation and agrees to export or destroy the
merchandise within a specified time or pay liquidated damages. This program is restricted to
certain categories of merchandise listed in subheadings 9813.00.05 through 9813.00.75 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS).

Correcting Valid number error messages.‐‐If you are completing a Commission
questionnaire in a country that uses periods (“.”) to delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would
appear as $1.000.000 instead of as $1,000,000), you may be unable to enter in numbers greater than
999 in numeric form fields. This issues stem from your computer number formatting setting (e.g., not
the MS Word document itself, but the computer from which you are opening up the document). In the
United States commas (,) delineate multiples of 1000 and periods (.) delineate fractions less than one.
Many EU countries use the reverse where multiples of 1000 are delineated with periods (.) and
fractions less than one are delineated with commas (,). The US International Trade Commission’s
questionnaires are set‐up in the United States with the U.S. number formatting. When this formatting
interacts with a computer set to EU number formatting, we believe this may cause this issue.
The solution to this data entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number
formatting to be consistent with the U.S. number formatting system while you complete the
questionnaire.
To temporarily change your computer’s number settings to U.S. settings, please do the following (for
Microsoft Windows Operating system):
START
Control Panel
Region and Language (under Clock, Language, and Region category)
Format tab
Change the Format from your existing one (e.g. “Italian (Italy)”) to “English (United States)” (see
screen shots below)
When you do this the number “twelve million dollars and thirty five cents” would change from
$12.000.000,35 (Italy format) to $12,000,000.35 (U.S. format), and then there will be no conflict with
the questionnaire. When you finish reporting the data then you can close the questionnaire and switch
back to Italy settings.

HOW TO FILE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSE
This questionnaire is available as a “fillable” form in MS Word format on the
Commission’s website at:
https://usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2018/large_diameter_pipe_canada_china_gree
ce_india/final.htm.
Please do not attempt to modify the format or permissions of the questionnaire
document. Please submit the completed questionnaire using one of the methods noted
below. If your firm is unable to complete the MS Word questionnaire or cannot use one
of the electronic methods of submission, please contact the Commission for further
instructions.
• Upload via Secure Drop Box.—Upload the MS Word questionnaire along with a scanned copy of the
signed certification page (page 1) through the Commission’s secure upload facility:
Web address: https://dropbox.usitc.gov/oinv/
Pin: PIPE
• E‐mail.—E‐mail the MS Word questionnaire to abu.kanu@usitc.gov; include a scanned copy of the
signed certification page (page 1). Submitters are strongly encouraged to encrypt nonpublic documents
that are electronically transmitted to the Commission to protect your sensitive information from
unauthorized disclosure. The USITC secure drop‐box system and the Electronic Document Information
System (EDIS) use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140‐2 cryptographic algorithms to
encrypt data in transit. Submitting your nonpublic documents by a means that does not use these
encryption algorithms (such as by email) may subject your firm’s nonpublic information to unauthorized
disclosure during transmission. If you choose a non‐encrypted method of electronic transmission, the
Commission warns you that the risk of such possible unauthorized disclosure is assumed by you and not
by the Commission.
If your firm did not import this product, please fill out page 1, print, sign, and submit a scanned copy to
the Commission.
Parties to this proceeding.—If your firm is a party to this proceeding, it is required to serve a copy of the
completed questionnaire on parties to the proceeding that are subject to administrative protective
order (see 19 CFR § 207.7). A list of such parties may be obtained from the Commission’s Secretary (202‐
205‐1803). A certificate of service must accompany the completed questionnaire you submit (see 19 CFR
§ 207.7). Service of the questionnaire must be made in paper form.
