Germany Fluid End Blocks: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on forged steel fluid end blocks from Germany (A-428-847). Commerce preliminarily calculated an AD rate of 8.9% for BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH, the only company still covered by the review. Any changes to BGH's cash deposit rates would take effect on the publication date of the final results of this review, currently expected in September. Once Commerce issues its final results of the review, if the outcome doesn't change, the agency will assess AD at importer-specific rates for entries of subject merchandise from BHG entered Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023, it said.
