    ITC Final Decision Due on OCTG

    Written by Peter Brebach

    The following article was written by SMU contributing writer, Peter Brebach. Peter is the owner of Iron Angels of Colorado which is a company that deals with foreign steel and specifically with pipe and tube. SMU understands that the final vote by the ITC which was originally scheduled for today (14th) has been moved to August 22nd. This means the public will most likely not see the ruling until Monday, August 25th.

    With the final determination by the International Trade Commission (ITC) on the dumping/countervailing cases on OCTG (oil country tubular goods) schedule to be released in the near future, I have been asked to explain the purpose and the responsibilities of this US Government agency, along with those of the Department of Commerce (DoC).

He said the mills asked for offers even if prices were higher than their original buys last week.
