Antidumping duties on Ukrainian tubes and pipes won’t result in any dramatic changes on the Ural market, Yekaterinburg steel company says

14 January 2006 (06:50)

The Federal Government introduced some antidumping duties on Ukrainian tube and pipe import on January 1, 2006. Some tube suppliers don’t believe this is going to affect the regional market greatly, though. ‘Ural Federal District is known to use Russian tubes only,’ Lyubov Desyatova, Marketing Specialist of Yekaterinburgskaya Stalnaya Kompaniya (Yekaterinburg Steel Company) CJSC, said to the UrBC representative. Ms Desyatova says that Ukrainian tubes and pipes are virtually unknown on the local market. ‘This antidumping duty is more likely to affect the large-diameter tube market,’ she said.
