USITC Votes To Continue Truck Bed Cover Antidumping Investigation
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission voted 3-0 to continue antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on truck bed covers from China. Commissioners determined there is reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports allegedly sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the Chinese government. As a result, the U.S. Department of Commerce will proceed with its investigations of these imports.
What changed
The USITC made an affirmative preliminary determination that the U.S. truck bed cover industry is experiencing material injury due to imports from China sold at less than fair value and benefiting from government subsidies. This determination allows the Department of Commerce to continue its parallel investigations into dumping margins and subsidy amounts.
Importers and exporters of truck bed covers from China should monitor this investigation closely, as a final affirmative determination could result in the imposition of antidumping and countervailing duties that would increase costs for imported products. The preliminary duties may also require cash deposits during the investigation period.
What to do next
