Linear Hydraulic Cylinders From Canada, China, India, Mexico, and 
South Korea, Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of linear 
hydraulic cylinders from Canada, China, India, Mexico, and South Korea, 
provided for in subheadings 8412.21.00 and 8412.90.90 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in 
the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and subsidized by 
the governments of China, India, and Mexico.\2\ \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec.  703(b) or 733(b) 
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under Sec. Sec.  705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed 
entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations 
need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the 
investigations. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the 
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase 
notice of scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under 
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission 
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will

prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all 
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the 
investigations. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's 
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate 
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to 
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's 
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>), 
for comment.

Background

    On July 29, 2026, the Hydraulic Cylinders Fair Trade Coalition and 
its individual members--Aggressive Hydraulics Inc., Cedar, Minnesota; 
Hol-Mac Corporation, Bay Springs, Mississippi; Ligon Hydraulics, 
Tonawanda, New York; Prince Manufacturing Corporation, Lexington, South 
Carolina; PTC Alliance LLC, Wexford, Pennsylvania; Rosenboom Machine 
and Tool Inc., Sheldon, Iowa; Scot Industries Inc., Lone Star, Texas; 
Stillwell Inc., Burnsville, Minnesota; and Texas Hydraulics Inc., 
Temple, Texas--filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, 
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized imports of 
linear hydraulic cylinders from China, India, and Mexico and LTFV 
imports of linear hydraulic cylinders from Canada, China, India, 
Mexico, and South Korea. Accordingly, effective July 29, 2026, the 
Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-
802-804 and antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1799-1803 
(Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of August 4, 2026 (91 FR 49442).\4\ The 
Commission conducted its conference on August 19, 2026. All persons who 
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Due to the notice of extension of the deadline for 
determining the adequacy of the antidumping and countervailing duty 
petitions by Commerce, the Commission revised its schedule for this 
proceeding. The revised schedule was published in a subsequent 
notice in the Federal Register on August 26, 2026 (91 FR 55112).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on 
October 9, 2026. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 5800 (October 2026), entitled Linear Hydraulic Cylinders 
from Canada, China, India, Mexico, and South Korea: Investigation Nos. 
701-TA-802-804 and 731-TA-1799-1803 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

     Issued: October 9, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
