INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-1598 (Final)]


Gas Powered Pressure Washers From Vietnam

Determinations

    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 gas powered pressure washers from Vietnam, 
provided for in subheadings 8424.30.90 and 8424.90.90 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 3 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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\ 88 FR 59503 (August 29, 2023).
    \3\ Commissioner Randolph J. Stayin not participating.
    \4\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
order on Vietnam.
