DOC made the statement in its third administrative review for Vietnam’s oil country tubular goods (OCTG) for the period from September 1, 2018, to August 31, 2019.

It said other manufacturers and exporters from Vietnam receive a 111.47% tariff. This result is similar to previous reviews.

The US data also showed that last year the export turnover of OCTGs to this market reached nearly 17 million USD, mainly from the SeAH Steel VINA Corporation.

If new enterprises want to export OCTGs to the US, they can ask the DOC to review as a new exporter to enjoy separate tariffs, said Trade Remedies Authority (TRA).

According to TRA, the US initiated an anti-dumping investigation into OCTGs from Vietnam in 2013 and issued the final determination in 2014 with the anti-dumping rate for Vietnamese enterprises ranging from 9.57% to 111.47%.
