Published Date: 9/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Austria. The period of investigation is January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Preliminary 10.17% Countervailing Duty
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found countervailable subsidies for certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Austria for the period January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Commerce preliminarily assigned a net countervailable subsidy rate of 10.17 percent ad valorem to voestalpine Tubulars GmbH & Co KG and to all other producers/exporters.
Immediate Suspension and Cash Deposit Rule
Beginning on the publication date (September 3, 2026), U.S. Customs and Border Protection will suspend liquidation of subject OCTG imports and require cash deposits equal to the estimated countervailable subsidy rate. Commerce instructs CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the company-specific rate (if available) or the all-others rate, and when both producer and exporter rates exist, to apply the higher rate.
Which OCTG Products Are Covered
The investigation covers certain OCTG (hollow steel products like oil well casing and tubing) from Austria and lists specific Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) subheadings that may be used for entries. Excluded items include casing, tubing, or coupling stock with 10.5 percent or more chromium by weight, drill pipe, unattached couplings, and unattached thread protectors.
Final Decision Aligned with Antidumping Ruling
Commerce will align the final countervailing duty determination with the final antidumping duty determination for OCTG from Austria, and both final determinations are currently scheduled to be issued no later than January 12, 2027. The alignment means the final CVD determination will be issued on the same date as the companion final antidumping determination.
