Reinvestigation of values of oil country tubular goods and seamless casing from China

October 20, 2022

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has initiated a re-investigation to update the normal values and export prices respecting certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and certain seamless casing originating in or exported from China.

Orders from the Tribunal impose anti-dumping and/or countervailing duty on importations of the specified goods.

The CBSA notes the re-investigation was initiated, in part, as a response to a dramatic increase in imports of the subject goods from China totaling approximately 135,000 MT since the beginning of 2022. The need for this re-investigation was further compelled by serious price volatility in the OCTG market, with world market price indicators rising by 50% or more during this same period.

Given these factors, the re-investigation will be conducted on an expedited basis.

Normal values established during this re-investigation will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the date of the conclusion of the re-investigation. Normal values currently in place will expire on that date. Normal values determined on the basis of the re-investigation will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this re-investigation.
