US Department of Commerce Announces Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Review on Oil Country Tubular Goods from Japan

Summary

The US Department of Commerce has begun an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on Oil Country Tubular Goods from Japan, following a request from US Steel Corporation, which sought reviews of four Japanese companies: JFE Steel, Nippon Steel, NKK Tubes, and Sumitomo Metal Industries. The review covers sales from August 1, 2003 to July 31, 2004, and preliminary results indicate that NKK and SMI had no reviewable sales during this period, leading to the rescission of their reviews. The remaining companies will face adverse facts available, and interested parties can comment on the preliminary results.
