OCTG industry salutes Customs for catching trade crooks

The US OCTG Manufacturers Association (USOMA) is cheering US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for catching another Thai company illegally transshipping Chinese oil pipe to the US.

In a preliminary decision last month, CPB found that Boly Pipe Co. (also known as Baoli Steel Pipe) has transshipped Chinese OCTG to the US through Thailand to avoid paying hefty anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVDs) on Chinese pipe. The applicable AD duty rate would be the PRC-wide entity rate of 99.14% and the all-others CVD rate of an additional 27.08%.
