WASHINGTON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. International Trade 
Commission on Wednesday backed duties on imports of certain 
carbon steel pipes and tubes from South Korea, Mexico and 
Turkey, saying the imports were harming domestic producers. 
    The Commerce Department had already slapped anti-dumping 
duties of up to 35.66 percent on imports of heavy-walled 
rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from the three 
countries, as well as anti-subsidy duties of up to 23.37 percent 
on the products from Turkey.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N1A11VL 
    The ITC's finding, which finalizes those duties, marks the 
last step in an investigation launched last year after a 
complaint from Atlas Tube, a division of JMC Steel Group; Bull 
Moose Tube Co; EXLTUBE; Hannibal Industries, Inc; Independence 
Tube Corp; Maruichi American Corp, a subsidiary of Maruichi 
Steel Tube Ltd  5463.T ; Searing Industries; Southland Tube and 
Vest Inc.
