🇬🇧 English

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has formally instituted five-year sunset reviews of existing antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders covering chassis and subassemblies imported from China. These reviews are mandated under the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and are triggered automatically every five years to assess whether the trade remedy orders remain necessary. The central question of the review is whether revoking the AD and CVD orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. domestic industry. The Commission is soliciting responses from all interested parties — including domestic producers, importers, exporters, and trade associations — who must submit specified information within the designated deadline. If the Commission finds that revocation would likely cause or renew material injury, the orders will remain in place, continuing to impose duties on Chinese-origin chassis and subassemblies entering the United States. If the review concludes no injury would result, the orders may be revoked and the duties removed. This notice marks the beginning of a formal adjudicatory process. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to participate by submitting substantive responses, as failure to respond may result in the Commission relying solely on the information already on the record.
