  • 2021-00212 — Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Final Negative Critical Circumstances Determination
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 1933
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Department of Commerce determined that producers and exporters of certain vertical shaft engines from China are receiving unfair subsidies. These engines, used primarily in lawn mowers, may lead to countervailing duties if the U.S. International Trade Commission finds they harm U.S. industry. The investigation covers engines with displacements between 225cc and 999cc and includes specific components defined as unfinished engines. The final decision will impact how these products are handled at U.S. borders, including potential duties and customs actions.

    Simple Explanation

    The government found out that companies in China are getting extra help from their country to make certain engines used in lawn mowers cheaper to sell, which might be unfair to people who make similar engines in the U.S. If they decide this hurts the U.S. makers, they might make new rules to add extra costs when these engines are brought to the U.S. to make things fair.

A public conference was held in January 2025, and the commission's findings so far have been published in a document titled "Slag Pots from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-753 and 731-TA-1731 (Preliminary)."

    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 100974
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has released preliminary findings indicating that producers and exporters of chlorinated isocyanurates from China received government subsidies during 2022. The review highlights that ten companies had no entries of these products in the U.S. during the review period and, as a result, the review of these companies has been partially rescinded. The Department of Commerce invites interested parties to comment on these preliminary results and to submit case briefs, with a final decision expected within 120 days. These results will determine the countervailing duties imposed to offset the subsidies.

    Simple Explanation
