The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has issued a preliminary ruling imposing temporary anti-dumping duties on certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) imported from Mexico, the Philippines, Turkey, South Korea, and the United States.
The investigation was launched in August this year following complaints from a number of manufacturers about alleged injurious dumping.
According to the preliminary ruling, exporters face an estimated dumping margin of between 5.3% and 148.4%, depending on the origin and supplier of the products. For individual companies, the anti-dumping duty for Tubos de Acero de Mexico is 26.2%, for South Korea’s Hyundai Steel Pipe – 15.5%, and for the US Maverick Tube Corporation – 14.7%.
The provisional duties are payable from December 22, 2025, and will remain in effect until the final results of the investigation.
It should be recalled that in November this year, Canada announced additional protective measures to support steel producers amid trade tensions and US tariffs. In particular, the country will introduce a new 25% tariff on steel derivatives in December. In addition, certain restrictions on steel imports from countries that do not have a free trade agreement (FTA) with Canada and a reduction in quotas for partner countries have been announced.
As reported by GMK Center, in October 2025, Canada exempted certain US steel and aluminum products from tariffs. As explained, this refers to a group of very specific goods that need to be imported into the country to maintain supply chains.
