US maintains anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on Chinese OCTG

The U.S. Department of Commerce (USDOC) has decided to maintain its anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) imported from China. The extension follows concurrent determinations by the USDOC and the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) that the removal of these trade remedies would result in continued material injury to domestic manufacturers, driven by persistent dumping and unfair subsidization.

As a result, Chinese imports of these hollow steel products-including oil well casing, tubing, and coupling stock-will remain subject to significant financial penalties. Importers face weighted-average dumping margins of 32.07% and 99.14%, alongside countervailing duty rates ranging from 10.49% to 15.78%.

Certain products are exempt from these measures, including specific high-chromium products, drill pipes, and unattached parts.
