Oil Country Tubular Goods from Nine Countries: Prelim AD Determination Pushed to February

The Commerce Department is postponing until Feb. 13, 2014, its preliminary antidumping duty determinations on oil country tubular goods from India, South Korea, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam (A-533-857, A-580-870, A-565-802, A-517-804, A-583-850, A-549-832, A-489-816, A-823-815, A-552-817). The preliminary determination had previously been due Dec. 9, later extended to Dec. 26 because of the federal government shutdown. Commerce cited the “extraordinary complexity and the number of firms whose activities we must investigate” as justification for postponing until February.
