The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains an antidumping (AD) duty order, case number A-570-139, covering mobile access equipment and subassemblies thereof from China. Only an AD order is referenced here; no countervailing duty (CVD) case is provided. Importers of such equipment or its subassemblies should carefully review whether their goods may fall within scope.

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)

•May include self-propelled boom lifts used to elevate personnel or materials
•May include scissor lifts and other elevating work platforms
•May include telehandlers and similar mobile elevating work equipment
•May include certain man lifts or aerial work platforms
•May include chassis, booms, and other subassemblies of mobile access equipment
•May include unassembled or partially assembled mobile access equipment
•May include structural subassemblies imported separately for such equipment

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

?Fixed or permanently installed elevators and lifts (may be outside scope)
?Cranes primarily designed for lifting freight rather than personnel access (may be outside scope)
?Forklifts and material-handling trucks not designed as access platforms (may be outside scope)
?Non-mobile scaffolding systems (may be outside scope)
?General-purpose fasteners, hydraulic components, or hardware not dedicated to this equipment (may be outside scope)

Scope control: Any HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language in the order controls whether a product is covered, and parts, unfinished, or unassembled items may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of mobile elevating work platforms, boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers, and their subassemblies that are manufactured in or shipped from China.

What the duty means

AD duties are collected as cash deposits at the time of entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be substantial. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. Only an AD order is referenced here, so no separate CVD deposit is indicated by the provided facts.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with a detailed product description of the equipment or subassembly.
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and engineering drawings showing function and design.
☐Document the material composition and principal components of the item.
☐Identify the intended use (personnel/material elevation vs. other lifting functions).
☐Assemble country-of-origin support, including manufacturing records and mill or factory data.
☐Record the manufacturer and exporter names and confirm the exact producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening purposes only.
☐Confirm scope interpretation with a licensed customs broker or qualified trade counsel, and do not rely only on supplier statements.
☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings when goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin.
⚠Scope inquiries where Commerce may determine borderline products fall within the order.
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination, resulting in an incorrect (often higher) deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration or misclassification penalties, including retroactive duties and enforcement action.

The same type of product may be subject to AD or CVD orders from other countries as well, so importers should verify the order status for each country of origin they source from without seeking to evade applicable duties.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on mobile access equipment from China?

There is an AD duty order, case number A-570-139, covering mobile access equipment and subassemblies thereof from China. Whether a specific shipment is covered depends on Commerce's written scope, so importers should verify before entry.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order under A-570-139 still applies, the entry must be declared as subject merchandise, and the final duty can change after administrative review.

Are parts or unassembled mobile access equipment covered?

Subassemblies and unassembled or partially assembled equipment may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope. Importers should review the scope language and confirm with a licensed broker before filing.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers, or their subassemblies of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for parts, unassembled units, third-country processing, and borderline lifting equipment.

Bottom line: Mobile access equipment and subassemblies from China may be covered by AD order A-570-139; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current cash-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.
