ITC Moves Toward Revocation of AD/CV Duties on Drill Pipe From China

Antidumping and countervailing duties on drill pipe from China appear headed for revocation, after the Court of International Trade on Nov. 10 affirmed a reversal of the International Trade Commission’s injury determination in a ruling released to the public Dec. 16 (here). The ITC is publishing a notice in the Dec. 18 Federal Register confirming that it will change its 2011 finding of a threat of injury to U.S. industry from drill pipe imports to a finding of no injury (here). The move comes in response to a CIT remand issued in 2013 (see 14022603). Unless the November CIT decision is appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Commerce will soon revoke AD/CV duties on drill pipe from China.
