The U.S. International Trade Commission determined by a 4-1 vote on May 10 there is not a reasonable indication that U.S. producers are materially injured by imports of oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Austria allegedly subsidized by 13 countries and sold in the U.S. for less than full value. Countries accused were Austria, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela. An original petition also named Colombia, but was withdrawn on April 11, and Commerce did not investigate this country.
OCTG imports were not covered under Section 201 steel import relief granted by the Bush Administration.
