Canada's CITT continued, in expiry review RR-2025-006, its December 30, 2020 order from expiry review RR-2019-006 on dumped oil country tubular goods from Chinese Taipei, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Türkiye and Vietnam, except goods exported from South Korea by Hyundai Steel Company and from Türkiye by Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., and rescinded its order on such goods from Ukraine. The Tribunal found expiry was likely to result in injury for the seven countries and not likely to result in injury for Ukraine. CBSA will therefore continue anti-dumping duties on the seven countries and cease imposing them on Ukraine.
Why it matters: Entries of oil country tubular goods from Chinese Taipei, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Türkiye and Vietnam remain subject to anti-dumping duties, except Hyundai Steel and Borusan Mannesmann shipments, while entries from Ukraine are no longer subject to them.
