The US International Trade Commission (ITC) voted yesterday to conduct full five-year reviews (“sunset”) concerning the countervailing duty order on imports of oil country
tubular goods (OCTG) from
Italy and the antidumping duty orders on imports of OCTG from
Argentina,
Italy,
Japan, South
Korea, and
Mexico.
As a result of yesterday's votes, the ITC will conduct full reviews to determine whether the revocation of these orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries.
Interested parties are requested to submit their comments on the ITC's decision. Generally, 95 days after the initiation of the review the ITC determines whether the responses indicate adequate interest in a full review. If the responses are adequate, the ITC will conduct a full review, which includes public hearings and questionnaires.
