Potential Duties on LSPTV Imports
The U.S. has scheduled the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations into low speed personal transportation vehicles (LSPTVs) from China. If the final determinations confirm Commerce’s preliminary findings that these imports are subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value, extra duties (tariffs) could be added to imports classified under HTSUS 8703.10.50, 8703.90.01, 8706.00.15, and 8707.10.00. This could raise costs or change availability for companies that import, sell, or buy these vehicles.
