Van-Type Trailers and Subassemblies Thereof From the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value

Commerce Department, International Trade Administration — observed across 2 documents over 77 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.

In plain English

The US Commerce Department rules that Chinese manufacturers are selling van-type trailers to America for less than they charge at home, which triggers import duties to even the playing field. If you buy or sell van-type trailers or their parts, expect tariff costs to rise, which means you'll need to adjust pricing, sourcing, or inventory planning.
