【SMM Steel】The Canada Border Services Agency launched an anti-dumping investigation on February 2, 2026, targeting oil and gas well casing from Austria. Following a complaint from Tenaris Canada, the inquiry examines whether these imports cause injury to the domestic market. Preliminary findings are due within 90 days, which could lead to the imposition of provisional duties. The scope includes welded or seamless carbon or alloy steel casing and green tube casing with outside diameters between 114.3 mm and 245.2 mm, which must meet API 5CT or equivalent standards. The investigation specifically excludes drill pipe, pup joints, unattached couplings, coupling stock, insulated tubing and vacuum insulated tubing, as well as stainless steel casing containing 10.5% or more chromium by weight.

【SMM Steel】EU cargo delays rise after CBAM tax starts in 2026

【SMM Steel】Since CBAM entered its tax phase on Jan 1, 2026, goods are held at EU ports due to clearance issues. Importers must be registered CBAM declarants. Common problems: missing declarant status, wrong CBAM codes, no emission data. Non-compliant goods are blocked. CBAM is now a trade access condition. Firms must register, use correct codes, track the 50-ton annual exemption, and set up carbon reporting. While importers are legally responsible, exporters face shipment delays and lost trust. CBAM compliance is key for steel, aluminum, and fastener exports to the EU.
