The U.S. imposed dumping duties on copper pipes and tubes from China and Mexico, acting on a complaint from Memphis, Tennessee-based Mueller Industries Inc. and Cerro Flow Products LLC in St. Louis.
The duties will be as much as 60.85 percent on $233 million of imports from China and as much as 31.43 percent on $130 million of imports from Mexico for the products, used in plumbing and for carrying liquids or gases in heating systems, the Commerce Department said in an e-mailed statement.
