Five‑Year Review Could Keep or Remove Tariffs
The U.S. International Trade Commission is conducting full five-year reviews, started March 18, 2026, to decide whether to revoke or continue countervailing duty orders on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from India and Turkey and antidumping duty orders on OCTG from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam.
