Preliminary Finding May Trigger Import Taxes

That finding could lead to countervailing duties (extra taxes) on those imports, which may raise costs for U.S. businesses that buy these parts.
Thai Exporters Could Face Duties
Producers and exporters in Thailand of certain chassis and subassemblies were preliminarily found to receive government subsidies for the January 1, 2024–December 31, 2024 period. If the finding is finalized, those Thai companies could face countervailing duties on exports to the United States.
