Fluid End Blocks From China, Germany, India, and Italy; Notice of Commission Determination To Conduct Full Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC is conducting full five-year (sunset) reviews to decide whether existing duty orders on fluid end blocks should stay in place, so those orders remain in effect for now.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission will proceed with full reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking these orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states a schedule for the reviews will be established and announced at a later date.

Who's affected: The notice names fluid end blocks as the product. It cites countervailing duty orders on goods from China, Germany, India, and Italy, and antidumping duty orders on goods from Germany and Italy. No specific HTS codes are stated in the notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products may fall within the description of fluid end blocks referenced in these orders.
- Confirm with your licensed customs broker whether existing AD/CVD orders on these countries of origin may apply to your entries during the review period.
- Check for later Federal Register or ITC announcements setting the review schedule and any deadlines for participation.
- Confirm the country of origin of your goods, as antidumping coverage here is cited only for Germany and Italy while countervailing coverage is cited for all four countries.
