Platts reported that Brazil's foreign trade board, Camex decided to extend for five years, until August 2022, the definitive antidumping duties on imports of seamless steel pipes from China and Romania. The products under investigation were carbon steel seamless line pipes for oil and gas pipeline applications, with diameter up to 5 inches, classified under HS code 7304.1900, originating in these two countries. Both reviews were started in September 2016.

According to the decision published in the country's official gazette, the USD 743 per tonne duty will be maintained against Chinese products, while Romanian goods remain subject of an ad valorem tariff of 14.3% over the CIF price.
