Line Pipe Producers Refute Challenges to Section 232 Tariffs
Written by Sandy Williams
Speaking in support of the Section 232 tariffs, the American Line Pipe Producers Association is challenging recent claims by U.S. pipeline developers that they are unable to source sufficient quantities of large-diameter line pipe in the United States.
The large-diameter welded pipe industry in the U.S. is operating at its lowest capacity in years—well under 40 percent—and, if given the opportunity, is “ready, able and eager” to supply pipeline operators, says ALPPA.
