The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of freight rail couplers and parts thereof from Czech Republic and India that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of India.

Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns, Peter-Anthony Pappas, Bart Thanhauser, and David Foley Jr. voted in the affirmative. Commissioner Samuel T. Negatu did not participate in the vote.

As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping orders on imports of this product from Czech Republic and India and a countervailing duty order on imports of this product from India.

The USITC’s public report, Freight Rail Couplers and Parts Thereof from Czech Republic and India (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-775 and 731-TA-1759-1760 (Final), USITC Publication 5805, November 2026), will contain the views of the USITC and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available on the USITC website by November 30, 2026.
