Argentina has requested WTO dispute consultations with the United States regarding certain US anti-dumping measures on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Argentina as well as Section 771(7)(G) of the US Tariff Act of 1930. The request was circulated to WTO members on 25 May.
Argentina claims that the challenged measures are inconsistent with a number of provisions of the WTO's Anti-Dumping Agreement and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994. This is the third WTO dispute brought by Argentina relating to US anti-dumping measures on OCTG.

The request for consultations formally initiates a dispute in the WTO. Consultations give the parties an opportunity to discuss the matter and to find a satisfactory solution without proceeding further with litigation. After 60 days, if consultations have failed to resolve the dispute, the complainant may request adjudication by a panel.
