ITC votes to continue investigations into OCTG imports from Austria, Taiwan, UAE

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted to continue anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations into imports of oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Austria, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

ITC preliminarily determined there is a “reasonable indication” the US industry is “materially injured” because of imports of OCTG from those countries, according to a press release dated Friday.
