Even Canadian Trailers Caught Dumping? Commerce Delays the Hammer
Published Date: 8/4/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that van-type trailers from Canada are likely being sold in the U.S. for less than their fair price. This means importers might face extra duties soon, but the final decision is delayed to give everyone more time to weigh in. If you’re in the trailer business, keep an eye on this—it could affect prices and sales starting from October 2024 through September 2025.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Immediate Cash-Deposit Requirement
Starting on the publication date, August 4, 2026, U.S. Customs must suspend liquidation and require cash deposits for van-type trailers from Canada. The cash-deposit rate will equal the company-specific or all-others estimated dumping margins listed in the preliminary determination (for example, 4.29% for Manac Inc. and All Others, and 44.86% for Collins Manufacturing Company and GINCOR Werx). These suspension instructions apply to entries entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 4, 2026 and remain in effect until further notice.
High AFA Rates for Non-Responding Firms
Commerce preliminarily assigned adverse facts available (AFA) rates of 44.86% to Collins Manufacturing Company and GINCOR Werx because they did not respond to the quantity and value questionnaire. Other named exporters (Manac Inc., Di-Mond Sales, Innovative Trailer Design Industries, Morgan Canada) and the All-Others rate were preliminarily set at 4.29%. These company-specific margins determine potential duties on their exports during the investigation period.
Chinese Subassemblies Via Canada Subject to China Duties
Commerce said Chinese-origin subassemblies imported through Canada are subject to China countervailing duties and must be reported under Canadian third-country case numbers C-122-218 and A-122-219. For van-type trailers imported through Canada that contain Chinese subassemblies, only the Chinese subassembly portion is subject to China CVD duties and should be reported under those case numbers.
Final Determination Postponed; Provisional Measures Extended
Commerce is postponing the final determination and, at the request of exporter Manac dated July 27, 2026, is extending provisional measures from four months to a period not greater than six months. Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the publication date of this preliminary determination (publication August 4, 2026).
