U.S.makers of oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and line pipe accused foreign manufacturers of dumping goods in the country, and the U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITA) agreed with them. The ITA then slapped duties on foreign manufacturers. The manufacturers appealed the decision and the U.S. International Trade Commission upheld the ITA ruling and reinforced it by saying the actions by foreign manufacturers hurt U.S. OCTG makers. Many groups oppose the tariff. This paper describes this controversy and describes some of the impacts on various industries.
