Tariffs on Chinese Hand Trucks Extended Again
Published Date: 6/5/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duties on hand trucks and parts from China because dropping them could lead to unfair low prices again. This means importers from China will still pay extra fees to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. These rules stay in effect starting June 5, 2026, protecting American companies from cheap imports that could hurt them.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Keep Paying Antidumping Duties
If you import hand trucks or certain parts from the People’s Republic of China, you will continue to pay antidumping duties effective June 5, 2026. The Department of Commerce found dumping would likely recur and indicated dumping margins likely to prevail could be up to 383.60 percent.
U.S. Producers Kept Protection From Cheap Imports
If you make hand trucks or parts in the United States, the antidumping order remains in place as of June 5, 2026, to protect U.S. businesses from unfairly low-priced imports from China. Commerce concluded revoking the order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping.
