Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH from Germany got unfair financial help to sell forged steel fluid end blocks in the U.S. This means extra duties (taxes) will apply to their products for 2023 to keep things fair for American businesses. If you import or sell these blocks, expect changes in costs starting now.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Extra Duties on German Fluid Blocks
The Department of Commerce found countervailable subsidies for BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. If you import or sell forged steel fluid end blocks from that company, extra duties (additional import taxes) will apply to those products for 2023, so expect changes in your costs.
Protection for U.S. Businesses
Commerce's finding means duties are imposed to offset unfair financial help given to BGH, which is intended to keep competition fair for American businesses. U.S. producers or sellers of forged steel fluid end blocks are the group the rule aims to protect during the January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 review period.
