The United States International Trade Commission has determined that a US industry is materially injured by reason of imports of oil country tubular goods from Argentina, Mexico, Russia, and South Korea that the U.S. Department of Commerce has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and are subsidized by the governments of Russia and South Korea. As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from Russia and South Korea, and antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from Argentina, Mexico, and Russia. The Commission also made negative critical circumstances findings with regard to imports of this product from Mexico and Russia. As a result, these imports will not be subject to retroactive antidumping duties. The merchandise covered by these investigations is certain OCTG, which are hollow steel products of circular cross-section, including oil well casing and tubing, of iron (other than case iron) or steel (both carbon and alloy), whether seamless or welded, regardless of end finish (e.g., whether or not plain end, threaded, or threaded and coupled) whether or not conforming to American Petroleum Institute or non-API specifications, whether finished (including limited service OCTG products) or unfinished (including green tubes and limited service OCTG products), whether or not thread protectors are attached. The scope of these investigations also covers OCTG coupling stock. Excluded from the scope of the investigation are: casing, tubing, or coupling stock containing 10.5% or more by weight of chromium; drill pipe; unattached couplings; and unattached thread protectors. Petitioners: Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US Baytown, PTC Liberty Tubulars Texas, US Steel Tubular Products Pittsburgh, Welded Tube USA Lackawanna and the United States Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC, Pittsburgh, PA.
