U.S. Department of Commerce Releases Preliminary Results on Antidumping Duty Review for Oil Country Tubular Goods from Ukraine
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
Agency Details
The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced preliminary findings of an antidumping duty review concerning oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Ukraine. This review pertains to sales made between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. The goods in question are typically used in oil and gas well operations.
This study was conducted by the International Trade Administration, a section within the Department of Commerce that enforces trade laws and agreements.
Key Findings
The Department of Commerce believes that a Ukrainian company, Interpipe, has sold products in the United States at prices below normal value. A preliminary weighted-average dumping margin of 18.43% has been calculated for Interpipe.
About Interpipe
Interpipe comprises several entities: Interpipe Ukraine LLC, Interpipe Europe S.A., LLC Interpipe Niko Tube, and PJSC Interpipe Niznedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant, collectively named Interpipe.
Background on the Review Process
The antidumping review began on September 11, 2025, following requests from U.S. stakeholders. Although Interpipe withdrew their request for a review on November 19, 2025, the process continued because the U.S. OCTG Manufacturers Association also sought the review.
The review faced delays due to a 47-day government shutdown and additional tolling of deadlines by 21 days, extending the time for preliminary results.
Public Involvement
Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. The Department of Commerce has sought case briefs to be submitted within 21 days after the public notice and rebuttal briefs within five days following that. Parties can request a hearing to discuss the issues further.
Next Steps
The Commerce Department plans to release the final results following these preliminary findings. They will then inform U.S. Customs and Border Protection of any adjustments to assessment rates on these goods imported from Ukraine.
Information Access
The Preliminary Decision Memorandum, which details the methodologies used, is publicly accessible online.
Conclusion
This review highlights the U.S. government’s commitment to ensuring fair trade practices. The Department of Commerce will continue to monitor and adjust procedures to uphold these standards. The final determination will set future cash deposit requirements for Ukrainian OCTG exported to the United States.
