ITC fast-tracks tiny engine tariffs from China, U.S. only interested.
Published Date: 8/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is speeding up its review of special taxes on small vertical shaft engines from China to see if these taxes should stay. This affects U.S. businesses that make or sell these engines and could impact prices or trade rules starting July 6, 2026. The review is faster because only the U.S. side showed enough interest, so expect decisions sooner than usual!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Antidumping/CVD Orders Under Review
The U.S. International Trade Commission opened expedited five-year reviews on whether the antidumping and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on small vertical shaft engines from China should remain in place. This review was scheduled on July 6, 2026 and could affect U.S. businesses that make or sell these engines and potentially change prices or trade rules.
Expedited Review Means Faster Decision
The Commission determined the respondent response was inadequate and will conduct expedited reviews, so a decision will be reached more quickly than in a full review. The Commission also may extend the review period by up to 90 days under 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

Previous: 2026-16019, Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition
This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a petition, DP26-001, submitted by Mr. Christopher Mammarella (the Petitioner) to the Administrator of NHTSA (the "Agency") by a letter dated January 9, 2026, under 49 U.S.C. 30162 and 49 CFR part 552. The Petitioner requests the Agency initiate a safety defect investigation into allegations of a mechanical failure that results in the loss of All Wheel Drive (AWD) in certain Model Year (MY) 2021 to 2023 Acura TLX and MY 2022 to 2023 Acura MDX vehicles (the "Subject Vehicles") equipped with Acura's Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). As a result of the failure, these vehicles permanently lose the ability to transfer drive torque to the rear wheels effectively making them front wheel drive only. NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has determined that the issues raised in the Petition are not likely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists. This determination is based on a technical review by ODI of available information, which included: (1) consumer complaints submitted by the petitioner; (2) consumer complaint information in the agency's databases; and (3) other relevant information in possession of the agency. As a result, further investigation of the issue raised by the Petition is not warranted and the Agency, accordingly, has denied the Petition.
