China's Mobile Equipment Hit with Familiar Duty Review
Published Date: 4/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Zhejiang Dingli Machinery from China sold certain mobile access equipment at unfairly low prices between April 2023 and March 2024. Because of this, extra duties (taxes) will apply to their products starting April 16, 2026. This means importers and buyers should expect changes in costs and rules for these items soon.

Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Cash Deposit Rates and China‑wide Rate
Upon publication, cash deposit requirements apply for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date: the company subject to review will have the cash deposit rate established in these final results (18.27 percent), and any Chinese exporters not found entitled to a separate rate will face the China-wide cash deposit rate of 165.14 percent. These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Final Antidumping Rate: 18.27%
Commerce determined Zhejiang Dingli Machinery and three listed separate-rate respondents have a final weighted-average antidumping dumping margin of 18.27 percent for sales during April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. This duty rate is applicable beginning April 16, 2026 and will increase the cost of importing those mobile access equipment products.
Reimbursement Certificate Requirement — Double Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. Failure to file this certificate could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement and result in assessment of double antidumping duties and/or an increase in antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Assessment, Liquidation Timing, and De Minimis Rule
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries in accordance with the final results; assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication (publication date April 16, 2026). Importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates will be calculated, and where an importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis (less than 0.5 percent), entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. If a timely summons is filed, CBP will not liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) has expired.
