CIT Sustains AD Rate Hike for Chinese Drill Pipe Company
The Court of International Trade sustained on Nov. 4 the final determination from the Commerce Department’s antidumping investigation on drill pipe from China (A-570-965).

Downhole Pipe unsurprisingly continued to contest the determination, but CIT found Commerce’s redetermination to be reasonable.
