WTO rules against US in OCTG case
In the report released by the World Trade Organization on the case regarding oil country
tubular goods (OCTG) imported from
Argentina, the WTO's Appellate Body recommends that the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) request the United States to bring its measures into conformity with its obligations under Antidumping Agreement.
As previously reported by SteelOrbis, the case was taken to WTO as a dispute emerged between the
US and
Argentina as a result of the duties imposed on OCTG imported from
Argentina by the
US.
The antidumping duty order on OCTG from
Argentina was published on August 11, 1995. As a result of the review conducted by DOC, the continuation of the anti-dumping duty order was decided to be effective as of July 25, 2001.
