I say “should be,” as opposed to the original story saying “will be,” as you never know with the Bush Administration, which had to be pushed and prodded for years before it would agree to officially treat China as a market economy subject to sanctions for violating trade agreements.
The pipe case is the first to clear all the government hurdles for the tariffs to go into effect. Last year, the Commerce Department imposed penalty tariffs on imports of Chinese glossy paper, but the trade body blocked the tariffs by ruling that the domestic industry had not proven it was being materially harmed by the imports.
Some Congressional Democrats are talking about making it easier to file similar such suits.
