The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), the executive body of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) which includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Armenia, has announced that it has launched a new antidumping investigation due to the approaching expiry of the antidumping duties on seamless OCTG pipes from China.
The investigation was launched upon the request of Chelyabinsk Pipe Rolling Plant JSC, Pervouralsk Novotrubny Plant JSC, Volzhsky Pipe Plant JSC, Seversky Pipe Plant JSC, Taganrog Metallurgical Plant JSC and Sinarsky Pipe Plant JSC.
