Five‑Year Review Could Revisit China MAE Duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission has started reviews to decide whether revoking the countervailing duty order (Order Date: December 10, 2021) and the antidumping duty order (Order Date: April 14, 2022) on certain mobile access equipment (MAE) and subassemblies from China would likely cause material injury again. Interested parties can submit responses by 5:15 p.m. on December 2, 2026, and comments on adequacy by 5:15 p.m. on January 12, 2027.
Producers/Importers Must Provide Detailed 2025 Data
If you are a U.S. producer, U.S. importer, or a producer/exporter in China of the subject MAE, you are asked to provide detailed information on production, capacity, shipments, imports/exports, and finances for calendar year 2025 (report quantities in short tons and values in U.S. dollars). The deadline for filing these responses is 5:15 p.m. on December 2, 2026, and failure to provide complete information may lead the Commission to take an adverse inference under Section 776(b) of the Tariff Act.
Only Electronic Filings; 15‑Hour Reporting Burden
All filings must be submitted electronically through the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS); paper filings are not accepted. The public reporting burden for responses is estimated to average 15 hours per response, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number is 3117 0016 (expiration date July 31, 2029).
Business‑Proprietary Information May Be Shared Under APO
Business proprietary information (BPI) submitted in the proceeding may be disclosed to authorized applicants under an Administrative Protective Order (APO) if the applicant applies no later than 21 days after the notice's publication; a separate APO service list will be maintained for parties authorized to receive BPI.
