The DOC preliminarily determines that imports of seamless oil country tubular goods (OCTG), completed in Thailand using steel billets produced in China, are circumventing the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on the given products from China. The DOC selected Boly Pipe Co., Ltd. (Boly Pipe), Nanobest Limited (Nanobest), and Petroleum Equipment (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (PET) as the mandatory respondents in this circumvention inquiry.
