The investigations cover circular welded carbon and alloy steel line pipe not more than 24 inches in nominal outside diameter. Such welded line pipe is typically used in oil and gas pipelines.

Line pipe is not part of OCTG. OCTG is tubing, casing and drill pipe (in ground). Line pipe is used above ground to transport.
You are right, Andrew. I confused this investigation with another South Korean anti-dumping case. My apologies.
