Oil Country Tubular Goods From China; Institution of Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC has started five-year "sunset" reviews to decide whether existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on oil country tubular goods from China should stay in place, so those duties remain active for now.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has instituted five-year reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states that interested parties are requested to respond by submitting the specified information to the Commission.

Who's affected: The notice names oil country tubular goods (OCTG) as the covered product and cites China as the country of origin subject to the AD/CVD orders under review. The notice itself does not specify HTS codes in the text provided.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products may fall within the OCTG scope described in the underlying orders.
- Confirm with your broker whether existing AD/CVD duties on OCTG from China currently apply to your entries.
- Check whether your company is an interested party that may wish to respond to the Commission by the deadline stated in the full notice.
- Review the underlying order and case numbers with trade counsel to understand potential duty exposure while the review is pending.
