Commerce sets 130.76% duty deposit on van-type trailers from China — USITC final injury hearing August 20
Updated · Impact score 87/100 · Confidence 94%
Commerce issued a preliminary antidumping determination on June 15, 2026 (Docket A-570-219), finding that enclosed cargo trailers and subassemblies from China are sold below fair value. CBP began collecting 130.76% cash deposits on all entries as of June 15, 2026. The USITC has since scheduled its final injury phase with a hearing on August 20, 2026, covering van-type trailers from Canada, China, and Mexico.
Why it matters
Every van-type trailer entered from China on or after June 15, 2026 — including finished trailers and subassemblies such as frames, door assemblies, coupler assemblies, running gear, and landing gear under HTS 8716.39.0040 and 8716.90.5060 — now requires a 130.76% cash deposit. The USITC final injury phase covers Canada (AD only; CVD petition withdrawn), China (AD and CVD), and Mexico (AD and CVD), expanding tariff risk to multi-country trailer supply chains.
What to check next
Confirm with your broker that 130.76% deposits are being collected on all van-type trailer entries from China dated June 15, 2026 or later. If you source trailers from Canada or Mexico, monitor Investigation Nos. 701-TA-781-782 and 731-TA-1767-1769; prehearing briefs and entries of appearance for the August 20 USITC hearing are due by 5:15 p.m. on August 14, 2026. The final antidumping determination on the China case is due approximately August 22, 2026.
