[Investigation No. 731-TA-1537 (Final)]


Chassis and Subassemblies From China

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of chassis and subassemblies (``chassis'') from 
China, provided for in subheadings 8716.39.00 and 8716.90.50 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the 
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 86 FR 26694 (May 17, 2021).

Background

    The Commission instituted the investigations effective July 30, 
2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the Coalition of American Chassis Manufacturers, consisting 
of Cheetah Chassis Corporation, Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, Hercules 
Enterprises, LLC, Hillsborough, New Jersey, Pitts Enterprises, Inc., 
Pittsview, Alabama, Pratt Industries, Inc., Bridgman, Michigan, and 
Stoughton Trailers, LLC, Stoughton, Wisconsin. The Commission scheduled 
the final phase of the investigations following notification of a 
preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of chassis from 
China were being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase 
of the Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held 
in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in 
the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of 
January 14, 2021 (86 FR 3193). In light of the restrictions on access 
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on 
March 16, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
align its countervailing duty investigation with its antidumping duty 
investigation. On May 3, 2021, the Commission issued a final 
affirmative determination in its countervailing duty investigation of 
chassis from China (86 FR 24665, May 7, 2021). Following notification 
of a final determination by Commerce that imports of chassis from China 
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the 
final phase of the Commission's antidumping duty investigation was 
given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, 
U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing 
the notice in the Federal Register on May 28, 2021 (86 FR 28893).
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to Sec.  735(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determination 
in this investigation on July 1, 2021. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5211 (July 2021), entitled Chassis and 
Subassemblies from China: Investigation No. 731-TA-1537 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 2, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
