U.S. Department of Commerce Finds No Antidumping in Germany’s Steel

Estimated reading time: 2–5 minutes

The United States Department of Commerce has completed a review about German steel. The review looked at sales of forged steel fluid end blocks from Germany. These steel blocks are used in high-pressure machinery.

The review found that BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH, a German company, did not sell these steel blocks for less than what they cost. This review is called an antidumping duty administrative review. It looked into sales between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.

The Department of Commerce published these results on October 8, 2026. They first looked into this matter back in April 2026. They even paused and then continued their review to be very thorough. Companies like Ellwood City Forge Company and A. Finkl & Sons also took part in the discussion.

The rules state that if a company is selling items cheaper than they should, they might get special duties or fines. But for BGH, no extra duties will be applied. Customs in the United States will follow these rules and make sure no extra charges are added.

For other companies that were not specifically looked at in this review, a rate of 4.79% will still apply. This rate was decided in an earlier investigation. However, the cash deposit for BGH will be zero.

Importers must still follow all U.S. rules, including filing needed papers on time. This will help make sure they do not have to pay extra duties.

The Department of Commerce will continue to ensure fair trading practices and provide updates when available.
