Austria's Oilfield Pipes Face Yet Another Antidumping Review

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that certain oil pipes from Austria are likely being sold in the U.S. for less than their fair price. This means importers from Austria might face extra duties soon. The final decision is delayed, giving everyone more time to weigh in before any money changes happen.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Austria are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV).

- Certain Mechanical Pipes Excluded from Investigation: benefit, low. Commerce preliminarily clarified that mechanical pipe for oilfield tools, mechanical pipe for perforating guns, and expandable mechanical pipe are outside the scope of this OCTG investigation. Those specific products will not be subject to the LTFV preliminary finding in this notice.
- Final Determination Delayed; Provisional Measures Extended: mixed, medium.
