PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background.‐‐This proceeding was instituted in response to petitions filed on December 19, 2019, by
Ellwood City Forge Company, Ellwood Quality Steels Company, and Ellwood National Steel Company
(collectively the “Ellwood Group”), Ellwood City, Pennsylvania; A. Finkl & Sons (“Finkl Steel”), Chicago,
Illinois; and FEB Fair Trade Coalition (an ad hoc coalition whose members include the Forging Industry
Association, the Ellwood Group, and Finkl Steel), Cleveland, Ohio. Countervailing and antidumping duties
may be assessed on the subject imports as a result of these proceedings if the Commission makes an
affirmative determination of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the U.S. Department of
Commerce (“Commerce”) makes an affirmative determination of subsidization or dumping.
Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this proceeding are available at
https://usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2020/fluid_end_blocks_china_germany_india_and_italy/final.h
tm
Fluid end blocks covered by these investigations are forged steel fluid end blocks (fluid end blocks),
whether in finished or unfinished form, and which are typically used in the manufacture or service of
hydraulic pumps.
The term “forged” is an industry term used to describe the grain texture of steel resulting from
the application of localized compressive force. Illustrative forging standards include, but are not
limited to, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications A668 and A788.
For purposes of these investigations, the term “steel” denotes metal containing the following
chemical elements, by weight: (i) iron greater than or equal to 60 percent; (ii) nickel less than or
equal to 8.5 percent; (iii) copper less than or equal to 6 percent; (iv) chromium greater than or
equal to 0.4 percent, but less than or equal to 20 percent; and (v) molybdenum greater than or
equal to 0.15 percent, but less than or equal to 3 percent. Illustrative steel standards include, but
are not limited to, American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) or Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAE) grades 4130, 4135, 4140, 4320, 4330, 4340, 8630, 15‐5, 17‐4, F6NM, F22, F60, and
XM25, as well as modified varieties of these grades.
The products covered by these investigations are: (1) cut‐to‐length fluid end blocks with an actual
height (measured from its highest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm), an
actual width (measured from its widest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm),
and an actual length (measured from its longest point) of 11 inches (279.4 mm) to 75 inches
(1,905.0 mm); and (2) strings of fluid end blocks with an actual height (measured from its
highest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm), an actual width (measured
from its widest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm), and an actual length
(measured from its longest point) up to 360 inches (9,144.0 mm).
The products included in the scope of these investigations have a tensile strength of at least 70 KSI
(measured in accordance with ASTM A370) and a hardness of at least 140 HBW (measured in
accordance with ASTM E10).
A fluid end block may be imported in finished condition (i.e., ready for incorporation into a
pump fluid end assembly without further finishing operations) or unfinished condition (i.e.,
forged but still requiring one or more finishing operations before it is ready for incorporation into
a pump fluid end assembly). Such finishing operations may include: (1) heat treating; (2)
milling one or more flat surfaces; (3) contour machining to custom shapes or dimensions; (4)
drilling or boring holes; (5) threading holes; and/or (6) painting, varnishing, or coating.

Excluded from the scope of these investigations are fluid end block assemblies which (1) include
(a) plungers and related housings, adapters, gaskets, seals, and packing nuts, (b) valves and
related seats, springs, seals, and cover nuts, and (c) a discharge flange and related seals, and (2)
are otherwise ready to be mated with the “power end” of a hydraulic pump without the need for
installation of any plunger, valve, or discharge flange components, or any other further
manufacturing operations.
The products included in the scope of these investigations may enter under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 7218.91.0030, 7218.99.0030,
7224.90.0015, 7224.90.0045, 7326.19.0010, 7326.90.8688, or 8413.91.9055. While these
HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the investigations is dispositive.
Importer.‐‐Any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in
importing fluid end blocks (as defined above) into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or
through its selling agent.
Reporting of information.‐‐If information is not readily available from your records, provide carefully
prepared estimates. If your firm is completing more than one questionnaire (i.e., a producer, importer,
and/or purchaser questionnaire), you need not respond to duplicated questions.
Confidentiality.‐‐The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. § 1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a
manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
Verification.‐‐The information submitted in this questionnaire is subject to audit and verification by the
Commission. To facilitate possible verification of data, please keep all files, worksheets, and supporting
documents used in the preparation of the questionnaire response. Please also retain a copy of the final
document that you submit.
Release of information.‐‐The information provided by your firm in response to this questionnaire, as
well as any other business proprietary information submitted by your firm to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding, may become subject to, and released under, the administrative
protective order provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1677f) and section 207.7 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.7). This means that certain lawyers and
other authorized individuals may temporarily be given access to the information for use in connection
with this proceeding or other import‐injury proceedings conducted by the Commission on the same or
similar merchandise; those individuals would be subject to severe penalties if the information were
divulged to unauthorized individuals.
Valid number error messages.‐‐If you are completing this form in a country that uses periods (“.”) to
delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would appear as $1.000.000 rather than $1,000,000), you
may be unable to enter in numbers greater than 999 in numeric form fields. The solution to this data
entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number formatting to be consistent with
the U.S. number formatting system while you complete this form. Detailed instructions on how to

resolve this issue is provided at the end of this questionnaire and is available upon request from Kristina
Lara (202‐205‐3386, [email protected]).
D‐GRIDS tool.‐‐The Commission has a tool that firms can use to move data from their own MS Excel
compilation files into self‐contained data tables within this MS Word questionnaire, thereby reducing
the amount of cell‐by‐cell data entry that would be required to complete this form. This tool is a macro‐
enabled MS Excel file available for download from the Commission's generic questionnaires webpage
(https://www.usitc.gov/trade_remedy/question.htm) called the "D‐GRIDs tool." Use of this tool to help
your firm complete this questionnaire is optional. Firms opting to use the D‐GRIDs tool to populate their
data into this questionnaire will need the D‐GRIDs specification sheet PDF file specific to this proceeding
(available on the case page which is linked under the "Background" above) which includes the necessary
references relating to this questionnaire, as well as the macro‐enable MS Excel D‐GRIDs tool itself from
the generic questionnaires page. More detailed instructions on how to use the D‐GRIDs tool are
available within the D‐GRIDs tool itself.

FTZ, TIB, or bonded warehouses.‐‐Please indicate whether your firm enters fluid end blocks
into, or withdraws such merchandise from, foreign trade zones or bonded warehouses. Also
indicate whether your firm imports fluid end blocks under the TIB (temporary importation under
bond) program.
“Foreign trade zone” is a designated location in the United States where firms utilize special
procedures that allow delayed or reduced customs duty payments on foreign merchandise, as
well as other savings. A foreign trade zone must be designated as such pursuant to the rules
and procedures set forth in the Foreign‐Trade Zones Act.
“Bonded warehouse” is a secured facility supervised by U.S. customs, where dutiable landed
imports are stored pending their re‐export, or release after payment of import duties, taxes, and
other charges. A bonded warehouse must be designed as such pursuant to the rules and
procedures set forth in 19 U.S.C. § 1555.
“Temporary Importation under Bond (“TIB”) program” is a procedure whereby imported
merchandise may be entered under certain conditions for a limited time into the United States
free of duty. Under the program, an importer posts a bond for twice the amount of duty, taxes,
etc. that would otherwise be owed on the importation and agrees to export or destroy the
merchandise within a specified time or pay liquidated damages. This program is restricted to
certain categories of merchandise listed in subheadings 9813.00.05 through 9813.00.75 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS).

Correcting Valid number error messages.‐‐If you are completing a Commission questionnaire in a
country that uses periods (“.”) to delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would appear as
$1.000.000 instead of as $1,000,000), you may be unable to enter in numbers greater than 999 in
numeric form fields. This issues stem from your computer number formatting setting (e.g., not the MS
Word document itself, but the computer from which you are opening up the document). In the United
States commas (,) delineate multiples of 1000 and periods (.) delineate fractions less than one. Many EU
countries use the reverse where multiples of 1000 are delineated with periods (.) and fractions less than
one are delineated with commas (,). The U.S. International Trade Commission’s questionnaires are set‐
up in the United States with the U.S. number formatting. When this formatting interacts with a
computer set to EU number formatting, we believe this may cause this issue.
The solution to this data entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number
formatting to be consistent with the U.S. number formatting system while you complete the
questionnaire.
To temporarily change your computer’s number settings to U.S. settings, please do the following (for
Microsoft Windows Operating system):
START
Control Panel
Region and Language (under Clock, Language, and Region category)
Format tab
Change the Format from your existing one (e.g. “Italian (Italy)”) to “English (United States)” (see
screen shots below)
When you do this the number “twelve million dollars and thirty five cents” would change from
$12.000.000,35 (Italy format) to $12,000,000.35 (U.S. format), and then there will be no conflict with
the questionnaire. When you finish reporting the data then you can close the questionnaire and switch
back to Italy settings.

https://usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2020/fluid_end_blocks_china_germany_india_
and_italy/final.htm
Please do not attempt to modify the format or permissions of the questionnaire
document. Please submit the completed questionnaire using one of the methods noted
below. If your firm is unable to complete the MS Word questionnaire or cannot use one
of the electronic methods of submission, please contact the Commission for further
instructions.
• Upload via Secure Drop Box.—Upload the MS Word questionnaire along with a scanned copy of the
signed certification page (page 1) through the Commission’s secure upload facility:

• E‐mail.—E‐mail the MS Word questionnaire to [email protected]; include a scanned copy of the
signed certification page (page 1). Submitters are strongly encouraged to encrypt nonpublic documents
that are electronically transmitted to the Commission to protect your sensitive information from
unauthorized disclosure. The USITC secure drop‐box system and the Electronic Document Information
System (EDIS) use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140‐2 cryptographic algorithms to
encrypt data in transit. Submitting your nonpublic documents by a means that does not use these
encryption algorithms (such as by email) may subject your firm’s nonpublic information to unauthorized
disclosure during transmission. If you choose a non‐encrypted method of electronic transmission, the
Commission warns you that the risk of such possible unauthorized disclosure is assumed by you and not
by the Commission.
If your firm did not import this product, please fill out page 1, print, sign, and submit a scanned copy to
the Commission.

order (see 19 CFR § 207.7). A list of such parties may be obtained from the Commission’s Secretary (202‐
