The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) announced an extension of anti-dumping (AD) duties on Chinese oil country tubular goods (OCTG) until December 21, 2026. This decision prevents the measures from expiring on their original date on April 26, 2026.

The extension allows the EEC Department for Internal Market Protection to finish a repeated AD investigation, initiated on December 22, 2025, to determine if the protections remain necessary to prevent injury from dumped imports.

Current AD duty rates range from 12.23% to 31% of the customs value, depending on the specific Chinese manufacturer.

By keeping these duties in place, the EEC ensures domestic market protection while investigators evaluate whether to maintain, amend, or terminate the measures after the review concludes.

The subject goods are seamless steel pipes used for drilling and operating oil and gas wells.
