    The U.S. Department of Commerce has started an investigation to determine if seamless oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from China are avoiding existing trade duties by being sent to Thailand for completion before being imported into the U.S. This inquiry is in response to concerns raised by certain U.S. industries and unions, suggesting these goods might be evading antidumping and countervailing duties. The department will collect data from Thailand and decide whether these goods meet the criteria for circumvention under U.S. trade laws. Letters and questionnaires will be sent to producers in Thailand to gather necessary information.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission has ended an investigation into glass wine bottles imported from Chile. This investigation began after a petition by the U.S. Glass Producers Coalition, which includes Ardagh Glass Inc. and a workers' union. The petition was withdrawn, and the Department of Commerce announced the investigation's termination on December 30, 2024. The decision is in accordance with the Tariff Act and the Commission's rules.

    Simple Explanation

    The people who make glass bottles in America started checking if glass bottles from Chile were being sold unfairly cheap in the U.S., but then they decided to stop looking into it without saying why. So now, they won't be checking on the Chilean bottles anymore.
