WASHINGTON, July 21 (Reuters) - U.S. producers of steel 
pipes and tubes filed a complaint with the U.S. International 
Trade Commission on Tuesday over imports from South Korea, 
Mexico, and Turkey, which could lead to import duties on the 
products. 
    Imports of heavy-walled rectangular welded carbon steel 
pipes and tubes were sold too cheaply in the U.S. market and 
benefited from unfair government support, according to the 
filing on the ITC website. ((http://www.usitc.gov/3079.htm)) 
    The complaint was lodged on behalf of Atlas Tube, a division 
of JMC Steel Group  JMCSG.UL ; Bull Moose Tube Company; EXLTUBE; 
Hannibal Industries, Inc; Independence Tube Corporation; 
Maruichi American Corporation, a subsidiary of Maruichi Steel 
Tube Ltd  5463.T ; Searing Industries; Southland Tube and Vest 
Inc.
