USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Low Speed Personal Transportation Vehicles from China

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of low speed personal transportation vehicles from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigation of imports of low speed personal transportation vehicles from China, with its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about November 27, 2024 and its preliminary countervailing duty determination on September 13, 2024.

The Commission’s public report Low Speed Personal Transportation Vehicles from China, (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-731 and 731-TA-1700 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5533, August 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.

The report will be available by September 12, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at:  https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
