United States International Trade Commission Announces Full Five-Year Reviews on Oil Country Tubular Goods
Estimated reading time: 2–5 minutes
The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has announced the scheduling of full five-year reviews. These reviews focus on oil country tubular goods from five countries: India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam. The purpose is to decide if removing certain trade duties would harm U.S. Industries.
Purpose of the Reviews
The reviews will determine if canceling countervailing and antidumping duties on tube goods would hurt the U.S. industry. Specifically, the decisions involve countervailing duties for India and Turkey and antidumping duties for all five countries. The ITC aims to see if removing these duties would cause damage within a reasonable time.
