Analyzed Economic Effects

Importers Face New Duties
If you import certain brake drums from China or Türkiye, you must now pay countervailing duties (extra taxes) on those imports. That raises the cost of importing and selling these brake drums.
U.S. Brake Drum Makers Gain Protection
If you make brake drums in the United States, the new countervailing duties on imports from China and Türkiye are meant to help your business compete by making imported drums more expensive. This can improve your competitiveness against foreign-made brake drums.
