🇬🇧 English

This law initiates investigations by the United States International Trade Commission to determine if imports of oil country tubular goods from Austria, Taiwan, and the UAE are causing material injury or threat to the US industry. The investigations are in response to claims that these goods are being sold at unfair prices and subsidized by the Austrian government. The Commission is mandated to reach a preliminary determination in 45 days, followed by a reporting period to the Department of Commerce.
