Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duties on small vertical shaft engines (99cc to 225cc) and their parts from China. This means U.S. companies like Briggs & Stratton are protected from unfairly cheap imports, keeping the playing field fair. These duties stay in effect starting July 31, 2026, helping U.S. businesses compete and protect jobs.
