Notice
Summary
The U.S. government has decided to keep extra taxes on certain tow-behind lawn groomers and their parts imported from China.

The decision was finalized in early March 2026 and means these duties will continue for now, helping U.S. businesses stay strong.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Remain in Place
If you are a U.S. lawn equipment maker, the U.S. International Trade Commission decided on March 5, 2026 to keep the antidumping duty order on certain tow-behind lawn groomers and parts from China. That decision means the extra duties remain in place to protect U.S. producers from what the Commission found would likely be continuation or recurrence of material injury.
Importers Face Continued Duties
If you import certain tow-behind lawn groomers or their parts from China, you will continue to face antidumping duties following the Commission's March 5, 2026 determination. The Commission found that revoking the order would likely cause material injury, so the extra taxes on those imports remain for now.
