ITC Five-Year Review: Fluid End Blocks from China, India, Italy
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has initiated five-year reviews to determine if revoking countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on fluid end blocks from China, India, Germany, and Italy would likely lead to material injury. The Commission found respondent responses from China, India, and Italy inadequate but will proceed with full reviews for administrative efficiency, alongside full reviews for Germany.
What changed
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has issued a notice to proceed with full five-year reviews concerning countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on fluid end blocks originating from China, India, Germany, and Italy. The Commission determined that while respondent responses from China, India, and Italy were inadequate, it would conduct full reviews for administrative efficiency, aligning with its decision to conduct full reviews for Germany, where responses were deemed adequate. This action is pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930.
Regulated entities involved in the import or export of fluid end blocks from these countries should be aware that these reviews will determine the continuation or recurrence of material injury if the existing duty orders are revoked. A schedule for these reviews will be established and announced later. Compliance officers should monitor for future announcements regarding the review schedule and potential outcomes, which could impact trade flows and duties on these products.
What to do next
- Monitor for schedule of full reviews
- Review 19 CFR part 201 and 207 for procedural rules
