U.S. imports of standard pipe totaled 66,749 metric tons in April 2025, reflecting a 3.4% decline from March, according to final census data from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Despite the monthly dip, imports were up 4.6% year-on-year compared to April 2024.
In terms of value, standard pipe imports reached $69.4 million in April, slightly higher than $69.2 million in March, but down from $76.1 million in the same month last year.
Top sources of standard pipe imports in April included:
-
Vietnam – 16,803 mt
-
United Arab Emirates (UAE) – 12,661 mt
-
Canada – 9,998 mt, down sharply from 14,507 mt in March and 14,219 mt in April 2024
-
Mexico – two separate entries reported at 3,916 mt and 5,347 mt (likely a reporting error or split by product classification)
The decrease in imports from Canada suggests a notable shift in sourcing trends, while Vietnam and the UAE emerged as leading suppliers, possibly due to favorable pricing or shifting trade routes.
