Van-Type Trailers and Subassemblies From China: Preliminary AD Determination (LTFV)

Commerce preliminarily finds van-type trailers and subassemblies from China are sold at less than fair value, a step toward antidumping duties on these imports.

What changed

The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a preliminary affirmative determination that van-type trailers and subassemblies thereof from China are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). The period of investigation runs April 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025.

Who/what it hits

Importers of van-type trailers and their subassemblies of Chinese origin. This is a preliminary step in an antidumping investigation; preliminary cash-deposit rates and final duties are not yet finalized.

What importers should do

Review sourcing exposure for affected products, watch for the published preliminary dumping margins and cash-deposit requirements, and consider submitting comments during the open comment period. A human reviewer should add specific AD rates and HTS coverage once confirmed.
