This explainer covers the U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order A-570-135 on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from China. It is an AD order only (no CVD case is listed here). Imported chassis and their subassemblies, whether finished or unfinished, assembled or unassembled, may fall within its scope and should be reviewed carefully.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•Finished or unfinished container chassis for road, rail, or marine roll-on/roll-off transport (may be covered)
•Chassis frames or sections of chassis frames, including kingpin assemblies (may be covered)
•Bolsters, goosenecks, drop assemblies, and extension mechanisms (may be covered)
•Running gear or axle assemblies, whether fixed, sliding, or lifting (may be covered)
•Landing gear assemblies for supporting a chassis when detached from a tractor (may be covered)
•Assemblies connecting to a chassis frame such as pintle hooks or B-trains (may be covered)
•Rear impact guards forming part of a chassis frame (may be covered)
•Chassis entered with components for further assembly, such as suspensions, wheels, tires, or brake assemblies (may be covered)

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Dry van trailers with a wholly enclosed cargo space (commonly outside scope)
?Refrigerated van trailers (commonly outside scope)
?Flatbed trailers (commonly outside scope)
?Individual components entered and sold by themselves, not with or for assembly into a chassis (commonly outside scope)

Scope control: Any HTS references are screening aids only; Commerce's written scope language governs whether a product is covered, and unfinished or unassembled chassis and listed subassemblies may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of container chassis and their subassemblies from China, as well as importers of chassis entered with components for further assembly, since third-country processing generally does not remove goods from scope.

What the duty means

AD cash deposits are collected at entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high. A 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. Only an AD order is listed here; no CVD deposit is indicated by these facts.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and match it to the written scope wording.
☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing the frame, axles, landing gear, and coupling features.
☐Document the material composition and construction of the chassis or subassembly.
☐Confirm the intended use (container/payload carriage for road, rail, or RORO transport).
☐Assemble country-of-origin support, including manufacturing records for any third-country processing.
☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and confirm the specific producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the appropriate HTS classification for screening purposes only.
☐Consult a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to assess scope — do not rely only on supplier statements.
☐Verify the current cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings where goods are routed or processed through third countries.
⚠Scope inquiries where subassemblies or partial assemblies are involved.
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and thus the wrong deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration exposing the importer to penalties and retroactive duty liability.

The same or similar products may be subject to orders originating in other countries, so importers should review each country of origin independently without engaging in any evasion of duties.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on chassis and subassemblies from China?

There is a U.S. antidumping duty order, A-570-135, on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from China. Whether your specific goods fall within its scope should be confirmed against Commerce's written scope and verified before entry.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, entries must be declared, and rates can change through administrative reviews, so importers should verify current rates before filing.

Are parts or unassembled chassis covered?

They may still be covered depending on Commerce's scope. Unfinished or unassembled chassis and the listed subassemblies may fall within scope, while individual components sold by themselves are commonly outside it — verify with a licensed broker.

Needs review

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are container chassis or listed chassis subassemblies of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for unfinished or unassembled units, components entered for assembly, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Certain chassis and subassemblies from China may be covered by AD order A-570-135; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.

Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
