US duties on chassis and subassemblies from China have cleared a key step towards staying in place. The US International Trade Commission voted that ending them would likely hurt US makers.

The ITC decided in an expedited five-year check, a sunset review. Its notice is due in the Federal Register on 2 November 2026. It found "that revocation of the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on chassis and subassemblies from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time."

The vote covers both the anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders. The notice gives no rates.

This matters for US importers of these chassis and for Chinese producers.

The duties are not formally renewed yet. That needs a separate notice from the Department of Commerce. The ITC notice does not say when that will come.

What to check

  • Do you import chassis or subassemblies from China?
  • What deposit rate do you pay today?
  • Will you watch for the Commerce notice?
