Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
The association's primary aim is to "level the playing field for the U.S. OCTG industry and bring OCTG imports down to market shares aligned with basic steel products," Schagrin said, and is looking forward to working with the Biden administration and Congress to "strengthen American energy and national security by promoting a healthy, domestic OCTG industry."
