The U.S. International Trade Commission published notice on March 24, 2026, scheduling full five-year reviews under Investigation Nos. 701-TA-499-500 (countervailing duty) and 731-TA-1215-1216, 1221-1223 (antidumping duty) for oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from five countries. Parties seeking to participate must file an entry of appearance within 45 days of publication—establishing a May 8, 2026 deadline for compliance teams tracking these proceedings.
The reviews cover two distinct duty frameworks. The CVD orders apply specifically to India and Turkey, while the AD orders extend to India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam. The Commission will determine whether revoking these orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic OCTG industry within a reasonably foreseeable time.
Key Investigation Numbers: CVD orders fall under 701-TA-499-500; AD orders are tracked as 731-TA-1215-1216 and 731-TA-1221-1223. Trade compliance systems should map these investigation numbers to the relevant HTS classifications for oil country tubular goods to ensure accurate duty rate retrieval.
The Commission has exercised its authority under Section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) to extend the review period by up to 90 days. This statutory provision allows the ITC additional time when full reviews are warranted based on responses to the institution notice. The Commission made its adequacy determination on November 24, 2025, with the formal scheduling notice published in the Federal Register on February 4, 2026 (91 FR 5110).
Deadline Alert: Applications for access to business proprietary information under administrative protective order must also be filed by 45 days after the March 24, 2026 publication date. The prehearing staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on July 8, 2026, with a public version to follow.
For trade compliance engineering teams, the extended review timeline introduces a window of uncertainty for OCTG duty calculations. Systems pulling rates for tubular goods classified under the relevant HTS headings must account for the possibility that current CVD and AD rates could change following the Commission's final determination. Rate caching strategies should incorporate review status metadata to flag potentially volatile duty assessments.
The ITC contact for these reviews is Jesse Sanchez at (202) 205-2402 in the Office of Investigations. All filings must be submitted electronically through the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) at edis.usitc.gov—the Secretary's Office is not accepting paper filings during this period.
Importers and compliance platforms handling OCTG shipments from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, or Vietnam should monitor these proceedings closely. The combination of CVD and AD orders creates layered duty exposure that requires precise HTS classification and country-of-origin tracking to calculate accurate landed costs.
