US reviews hand-truck antidumping duty on China imports
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled an expedited five-year review of the antidumping duty order on hand trucks from China, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930. The review will determine whether revoking the order would likely lead to continued or recurring material injury to U.S. producers. Hand-truck importers and distributors should monitor the review timeline and prepare for potential duty-rate changes or order revocation.

Under Section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, antidumping duty orders are subject to automatic review every five years. In an expedited review, the Commission determines whether revocation of the order "would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time." If the Commission votes affirmatively, the order remains in place; a negative determination leads to revocation.
Who is affected
This review affects importers, distributors, and retailers sourcing hand trucks from China. Hand trucks—typically classified under HS Chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel) or Chapter 87 (vehicles and related articles)—have been subject to antidumping duties. Any change in the duty rate or order status will directly impact landed costs and pricing strategy for affected shipments.
What happens next
The expedited review process compresses the typical five-year review timeline. Interested parties—including domestic producers, importers, unions, and other stakeholders—will have opportunity to submit briefs and participate in the investigation. The Commission will issue a final determination establishing whether the antidumping duty order should remain, be modified, or be revoked.
The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of an expedited review pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 ("the Act") to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty order on hand trucks from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
Importers currently paying antidumping duties on hand trucks from China should review the Commission's official notice for deadlines to submit comments and track the review's progress on the USITC website.
What this means for shippers
If you import hand trucks from China, request the current duty rates from your customs broker immediately and monitor the USITC docket for the final determination. An affirmative ruling keeps duties in place; a negative decision revokes them entirely—either outcome will shift your landed cost. File any comments supporting your position before the deadline closes or you forfeit your voice in the process. Track this review at /us-china-tariff-lookup.
