The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, the existing antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam and the existing countervailing duty orders of this product from India and Turkey will remain in place.

Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners Peter-Anthony Pappas, Bart Thanhauser, and David Foley Jr. voted in the affirmative with respect to the existing antidumping orders on imports of OCTG from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam and the existing countervailing duty orders on OCTG from India and Turkey. Commissioner Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative with respect to the antidumping duty orders on imports of OCTG from India, South Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam and the countervailing duty orders on OCTG from India and Turkey and voted in the negative with respect to the antidumping duty order on OCTG from Ukraine.

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.

BACKGROUND

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

The USITC’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the USITC concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally, within 95 days from institution, the USITC will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the USITC conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.

The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Oil Country Tubular Goods from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam were instituted on July 1, 2025.

On November 24, 2025, the USITC determined to conduct full five-year reviews. For Ukraine, Commissioners David S. Johanson, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel concluded that the domestic interested party group response and the respondent interested party group response were adequate, and voted for a full five-year review for Ukraine. For India, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam, Commissioners David S. Johanson, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel concluded that the domestic interested party group response were adequate and the respondent interested party group responses were inadequate, and voted for full five-year reviews for those countries to promote administrative efficiency.

Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners Peter-Anthony Pappas, Bart Thanhauser, and David Foley Jr. did not participate in the adequacy votes as they were not members of the USITC at the time. 

A record of the USITC’s vote to conduct expedited reviews is available on the investigations page for Oil Country Tubular Goods from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam; Inv. No. 701-TA-499-500 and 731-TA-1215-1216 and 1221-1223 (Second Review).
