Ukraine oil pipes hit with preliminary dumping duty findings
Published Date: 10/5/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that a Ukrainian company sold oil country tubular goods (OCTG) in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from July 2024 to June 2025. This means extra duties might be charged to keep things fair for American makers. If you’re involved in importing or making these goods, watch for updates and possible cost changes starting October 5, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
18.43% Preliminary Dumping Margin
If you import oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Interpipe (the named Ukrainian producer/exporter), Commerce preliminarily found a weighted-average dumping margin of 18.43% for sales made during July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. This is a preliminary finding published as of October 5, 2026 and could lead to extra duties on those entries if finalized.
Cash Deposit Rates for Future Shipments
If you import the subject OCTG, the cash deposit rate for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results will equal the company-specific rate set in the final results (unless that rate is less than 0.50%, in which case the deposit will be zero). If an exporter or manufacturer is not covered by the review, the all-others cash deposit rate of 7.47% (from the less-than-fair-value investigation) will continue to apply.
How Duties Will Be Assessed and Timed
If Interpipe's margin is not zero or less than 0.50% in the final results, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping for each importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those sales (or a per-unit rate if entered values are missing). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results, and if a timely summons is filed, CBP will be instructed not to liquidate relevant entries until the 90-day statutory injunction period has passed.
Reimbursement Certificate Requirement and Double Duty Risk
If you are an importer, you must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f) prior to liquidation of the relevant entries in this review period. If you fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
