Preliminary Finding: U.S. Trailer Industry Harm
The U.S. International Trade Commission determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of van-type trailers and subassemblies from Canada, China, and Mexico that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair value and alleged to be subsidized. The Commission completed and filed these determinations on February 11, 2026 and referenced HTS subheadings 8716.39.00 and 8716.90.50.
Imports Under Antidumping and Countervailing Probe
Antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations covering van-type trailers and subassemblies from Canada, China, and Mexico were instituted (effective November 20, 2025) and are in the final phase following the Commission's February 11, 2026 determinations. These investigations specifically cite alleged dumping and subsidies for merchandise under HTS subheadings 8716.39.00 and 8716.90.50.
