Thailand OCTG imports may face duties
If your business imports or sells seamless oil country tubular goods (OCTG) finished in Thailand using steel billets from the People’s Republic of China, the U.S. Department of Commerce preliminarily found these imports are circumventing existing antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on OCTG from China. As a result, importers and companies that deal in these pipes could soon face AD and CVD duties.
