Summary

CVD five-year review for fluid end blocks
On March 6, 2026, the U.S. International Trade Commission began full five-year reviews to decide whether to revoke the countervailing duty (CVD) orders on fluid end blocks imported from China, Germany, India, and Italy. The reviews will determine whether revoking those duties would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to U.S. industry. A review schedule will be announced later.

On March 6, 2026, the Commission also began full five-year reviews to decide whether to revoke the antidumping duty (AD) orders on fluid end blocks imported from Germany and Italy.
