Canada Initiates Antidumping Duty Investigation into Oil Country Tubular Goods from the United States, Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, and Türkiye
On August 11, 2025, Canada’s Border Services Agency (CBSA) initiated antidumping duty (AD) investigations into imports of oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from the United States, Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, and Türkiye. If an affirmative decision is issued in the investigation involving the United States, duties may be imposed on subject U.S. exports. On August 12, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) initiated a preliminary injury inquiry to determine whether there is evidence that discloses a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping of the subject goods has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury.
What is an antidumping duty investigation?
An AD investigation assesses whether foreign goods imported into a country are being sold at less than fair value or below process or costs in domestic (i.e., being dumped) and whether this is causing or threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.
How can I participate in the investigation?
U.S. companies involved in the production, sale, or distribution of the subject goods should register as interested parties as soon as possible. Registration is the first step in protecting your rights in a foreign trade remedy proceeding. Doing so allows you to access the case record and submit information and comments, ensuring your views are considered. Please follow the instructions outlined on Pages 6-8 of the Initiation Notice for instructions on how to register as an interested party in this proceeding.
