# USITC Continues Cylinder Import Investigations

On September 30, 2026, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) made affirmative preliminary determinations that there is a reasonable indication that U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of linear hydraulic cylinders from Canada, China, India, Mexico, and South Korea. The determinations allow the U.S. Department of Commerce to continue its investigations; they do not establish a final finding or announce trade duties. The USITC’s public report is expected November 16, 2026.

- Manufacturers, importers, and suppliers that source or sell linear hydraulic cylinders from the five countries should assess potential exposure to future trade-remedy outcomes and related supply or pricing changes.
- Procurement teams can review sourcing dependencies, country-of-origin information, and cost assumptions for contracts involving these components; the preliminary determinations do not themselves impose new duties.
- The USITC report is expected November 16, 2026, and the source advises affected businesses to follow the proceedings for potential trade-remedy impacts.
