What changed
The U.S. Department of Commerce is issuing countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from Mexico and Thailand. The orders follow affirmative final determinations by Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that subsidized imports materially injure (or threaten) the domestic industry.
Who/what it hits
Importers of in-scope chassis and chassis subassemblies sourced from Mexico and Thailand. CVD orders direct CBP to suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits at the assigned subsidy rates. The published abstract does not state specific producer/exporter rates or HTS scope details.
What an importer should do
Review the full Federal Register notice for the scope language, covered HTS classifications, and company-specific CVD cash-deposit rates. Confirm whether your products and suppliers fall within scope, and adjust landed-cost calculations and cash-deposit accruals accordingly.
