Effective December 14, 2015, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) concluded their re-investigation of the normal values and export prices of certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG II) originating in or exported from Chinese Taipei, the Republic of India (India), the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia), the Republic of the Philippines (Philippines), the Republic of Korea (Korea), the Kingdom of Thailand (Thailand), the Republic of Turkey (Turkey), Ukraine and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam).

The subject goods are described as oil country tubular goods, which are casing, tubing and green tubes made of carbon or alloy steel, welded or seamless, heat-treated or not heat-treated, regardless of end finish, having an outside diameter from 2 ⅜ inches to 13 ⅜ inches (60.3 mm to 339.7 mm), meeting or supplied to meet American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5CT or equivalent and/or enhanced proprietary standards, in all grades, excluding drill pipe, pup joints, couplings, coupling stock and stainless steel casing, tubing or green tubes containing 10.5 percent or more by weight of chromium.

The subject goods are generally classified under the following 10-digit Harmonized System (HS) classification numbers: 7304.29.00.11, 7304.29.00.19, 7304.29.00.21, 7304.29.00.29, 7304.29.00.31, 7304.29.00.39, 7304.29.00.41, 7304.29.00.49, 7304.29.00.51, 7304.29.00.59, 7304.29.00.61, 7304.29.00.69, 7304.29.00.71, 7304.29.00.79, 7304.39.00.10, 7304.59.00.10, 7306.29.00.11, 7306.29.00.19, 7306.29.00.21, 7306.29.00.29, 7306.29.00.31, 7306.29.00.39, 7306.29.00.41, 7306.29.00.49, 7306.30.00.29, 7306.30.00.39, 7306.50.00.90, 7306.90.00.10, 7306.90.00.20.

Importers are advised to review their importations to ensure they are correctly reporting SIMA subsequent to the re-investigation.
