ITC Eyes Chassis Imports from Asia and Mexico
Published Date: 4/18/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government found that imports of chassis and parts from Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam might be hurting American businesses because they could be sold unfairly cheap or supported by foreign governments. This means more investigations are starting, and if confirmed, tariffs or duties could be applied soon. Companies involved and consumers should watch for updates, as these changes could affect prices and trade starting in 2025.

Possible tariffs on imported chassis
The U.S. International Trade Commission found a reasonable indication on April 14, 2025 that imports of chassis and subassemblies from Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam may be unfairly priced or subsidized. The Commission instituted antidumping and countervailing duty investigations effective February 26, 2025, and if Commerce makes affirmative determinations, antidumping or countervailing duties could be applied soon. You (as a business that imports or uses these parts) could face higher costs for chassis and parts starting in 2025.
Consumers may face higher prices
Because investigations were opened for chassis and subassemblies from Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam (instituted February 26, 2025; Commission determination April 14, 2025), duties could be applied if officials confirm unfair pricing or subsidies. If duties are imposed, consumers could see higher prices for goods that use these chassis or parts as supply and trade change starting in 2025.
