Expedited review of lawn-groomer duties
On November 24, 2025 the U.S. International Trade Commission scheduled an expedited five-year review to decide whether revocation of the antidumping duty order on tow-behind lawn groomers and parts from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The review will follow section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 and could result in either keeping or removing the existing antidumping duties.
