No Dumping Found in German Forged Steel Blocks Review
Published Date: 4/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if forged steel fluid end blocks from Germany were sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices during 2024 and found they were not. This means no extra duties will be added for now, but companies involved can still share their thoughts before the final decision. This update affects German exporters and U.S. steel companies, with important deadlines coming soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Zero Dumping Margin for BGH
Commerce preliminarily found a 0.00 percent weighted-average dumping margin for BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. That means, for now, no additional antidumping duties will be added for BGH’s shipments for that period.
U.S. Petitioners Lose Preliminary Duty Outcome
U.S. steel companies that requested this review (the petitioners) face a preliminary outcome where BGH’s sales for January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 show no dumping. This means petitioners will not obtain additional antidumping duties based on these preliminary results.
Possible Assessment and Cash Deposit Rules
If final results find a non-zero dumping margin, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties and set company-specific cash deposit rates equal to the final weighted-average dumping margin; if a rate is de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), the cash deposit rate will be zero. The notice also states the all-others rate remains 4.79 percent and that Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results.
