Five-Year Review Could Change Mower Duties
On June 1, 2026 the U.S. International Trade Commission started five-year reviews to decide whether to revoke the countervailing duty order on walk-behind lawn mowers from China and the antidumping duty orders on mowers from China and Vietnam (orders originally effective July 13, 2021). The review could lead to continuation or revocation of those duties and thus could change import costs or retail prices for mowers.
Businesses Must File Info By July 1, 2026
If you are an importer, U.S. producer, exporter, union, or trade association with an interest in this review, you must submit the information requested to the Commission by 5:15 p.m. on July 1, 2026 to be assured of consideration; comments on adequacy are due by 5:15 p.m. on August 10, 2026. Filings must be electronic through the Commission's EDIS system; business proprietary information may be available under an administrative protective order if an application is made within the required time, and the Commission may draw an adverse inference under section 776(b) if a party fails to provide requested information.
