Chassis and Subassemblies From Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam; Scheduling of the Final Phase of Countervailing Duty and Antidumping Duty Investigations

Brief takeaway: U.S. trade authorities are moving into the final phase of investigations that could lead to antidumping and countervailing duties on chassis and subassemblies from Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam.

What changed: According to the notice, the International Trade Commission has scheduled the final phase of AD/CVD investigations (Nos. 701-TA-755-756 and 731-TA-1734-1736) to determine whether a U.S. industry is materially injured by these imports. The notice states Commerce preliminarily found the products sold at less-than-fair-value from all three countries, and subsidized imports from Mexico and Thailand. The notice also states that statutory deadlines were tolled due to a lapse in appropriations.

Who's affected: The notice names chassis and subassemblies from Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam, and cites HTS subheadings 8716.39.00 and 8716.90.50.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products may fall within HTS 8716.39.00 or 8716.90.50 and the described scope.
- Check whether your goods originate from Mexico, Thailand, or Vietnam as named in the notice.
- Confirm with your customs broker how the preliminary AD/CVD determinations and any cash-deposit requirements may affect your entries.
- Review the tolled deadlines and final-phase schedule to track potential timing of any final orders.
