Visclosky Responds to International Trade Commission Determinations

Merrillville, IN- Today, the International Trade Commission (ITC) made affirmative final injury determinations in the antidumping duty investigations of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) against India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, Vietnam, and Taiwan.  The ITC also made affirmative final injury determinations in the countervailing duty investigations against India and Turkey.  Additionally, the ITC made negative determinations in the antidumping duty investigations against the Philippines and Thailand.  

“I am pleased that the International Trade Commission sent the message to these six countries that we will not tolerate their illegal imports.  American jobs are at stake and these illegal trading practices jeopardize our nation’s industrial base.  I commend the American steel companies and all steelworkers for their tireless advocacy on this issue.  I stand with you and I will continue to fight to protect American jobs against unfair trade from countries anywhere in the world,” said Congressman Pete Visclosky.

Congressman Visclosky testified before the ITC in support of implementing these duties on July 15, 2014.
