Commerce Probes Chinese Mobile Equipment Pricing
Published Date: 7/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if some Chinese companies selling mobile access equipment played fair on prices from April 2024 to March 2025. They found some sold at lower prices than normal, one didn’t ship anything, and a few won’t be reviewed this time. This means some companies might face extra duties soon, and everyone involved can share their thoughts before the final call.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary 35.79% Dumping Margin
For the period April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, Commerce preliminarily found that Zhejiang Dingli Machinery Co., Ltd. sold certain mobile access equipment at less than normal value and assigned a preliminary weighted-average dumping margin of 35.79 percent. Commerce also preliminarily assigned that same 35.79 percent margin to Hunan Sinoboom Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. and Terex (Changzhou) Machinery Co., Ltd.; these companies may face additional antidumping duties if the final results keep this rate.
China-Wide Rate Remains 165.14%
Commerce is maintaining the China-wide entity rate of 165.14 percent and is not reviewing the China-wide entity because no party requested such a review. Importers of subject merchandise exported by companies treated as part of the China-wide entity (listed in Appendix II) would be subject to a 165.14 percent rate if those companies are treated as China-wide in the final results.
Cash Deposit Rules After Final Results
When Commerce publishes the final results, cash deposit requirements take effect for shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the publication date. The rule states: (1) companies with a separate rate will have the cash deposit rate set by the final results; (2) previously reviewed exporters keep their existing exporter-specific rate; (3) exporters without a separate rate will face the China-wide rate of 165.14 percent; and (4) non-China exporters without their own rate will face the rate of their Chinese supplier.
Review Rescinded for Four Firms — Assessment at Deposit Rate
Commerce rescinded this administrative review for four companies (Lingong Group Jinan Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd.; Mantall Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.; Noblelift Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd.; and Sany Marine Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.) because there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise from them during April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry for that period, and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice.
Importer Certificate: Reimbursement Risk
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
JLG Tianjin Found To Have No Shipments
Oshkosh JLG (Tianjin) Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. certified it had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, and Commerce preliminarily found this claim supported by record evidence. Commerce will complete the review with respect to JLG Tianjin and issue instructions to CBP based on the final results.

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some paper shopping bags from Cambodia were sold in the U.S. for less than their normal price between January 2024 and June 2025. This means certain Cambodian bag makers might have to pay extra duties to keep things fair. Businesses involved should watch for final decisions and possible changes in costs soon.

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that tires from Thailand were sold in the U.S. for less than their normal price between July 2024 and June 2025. This means some importers might have to pay extra duties to keep things fair.

2026-20778, Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products From the Republic of Korea: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2023
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Hyundai Steel and POSCO from South Korea got unfair government help on their hot-rolled steel in 2023. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will apply to their steel imports starting October 9, 2026. This means U.S. steel buyers might pay a bit more, and Korean producers will have to adjust to these new rules.
2026-20690, Oleoresin Paprika From India: Antidumping Duty Order and Countervailing Duty Order
Starting October 8, 2026, the U.S. is putting extra taxes on oleoresin paprika imported from India because it's being sold too cheaply and getting unfair government help. This move protects American paprika producers from losing business and means importers will have to pay more when bringing in this spice. If you import or sell this paprika, get ready for new costs and rules!
2026-20691, Certain Paper Shopping Bags From Taiwan: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2024-2025
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed paper shopping bags from Taiwan sold between January 2024 and June 2025. They found that Haur Tyi Paper Bag Co. didn’t sell these bags at unfairly low prices, and they stopped reviewing five other companies because no one asked for it. This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.
