WASHINGTON — The US International Trade Commission gave final approval Wednesday for imposition of penalty tariffs on imported Chinese steel pipes targted for unfair subsidies.

The commission, an independent federal agency determining import injury to US industries, said it "has made an affirmative determination in its final-phase countervailing duty investigation concerning" the "oil country tubular goods" from China.

The Commerce Department said last month it wanted to impose tariffs of between 10.36 percent and 15.78 percent, in addition to normal duties, following a probe on the imported steel pipes used to deliver oil and gas in the petroleum industry.

The final ruling by the commission paved the way for the imposition of the duties.
