The United States International Trade Commission is conducting the final phase of investigations into whether imports of low speed personal transportation vehicles (LSPTVs) from China are harming U.S. industry due to being subsidized and sold at below-market prices. These investigations cover LSPTVs, including components, whether finished or not, with certain specifications like a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour. The Commission has set key dates for participation, submission of materials, and public hearings to gather more information. The investigations were requested by the American Personal Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Coalition.
