Hydraulic-cylinder AD/CVD injury investigations open across five countries

Updated · Impact score 74/100 · Confidence 55%

The USITC opened preliminary injury investigations into linear hydraulic cylinders from Canada, China, India, Mexico, and South Korea. The petitions allege dumping from all five countries and subsidies from China, India, and Mexico; no duty order or new cash-deposit rate has been issued.

Why it matters

Importers and industrial users have an immediate participation window, while sourcing teams now have a new landed-cost risk to monitor. The notice points to HTSUS 8412.21.00 and 8412.90.90 for screening, but it does not replace the complete written scope that Commerce will use if it initiates the cases.

What to check next

Identify open orders and imports from the five named countries under the two screening headings, preserve supplier and product records, and coordinate with trade counsel promptly if your company should enter an appearance, seek APO access, appear at the August 19 conference, or submit an August 24 brief.
