Certain Mobile Access Equipment and Subassemblies Thereof From
the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results, Preliminary
Determination of No Shipments, and Partial Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review; 2024-2025
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
determines that certain exporters made sales of subject merchandise at
less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), April 1,
2024, through March 31, 2025, and that these companies qualify for
separate rates. We also preliminarily find that one additional exporter
is no longer eligible for a separate rate and that one exporter made no
shipments during the POR. Finally, we are rescinding this review with
respect to four companies with existing separate rates who had no
entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Interested parties are
invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
DATES: Applicable July 16, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 20, 2025, based on timely requests for review, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of
the antidumping duty (AD) order on mobile access equipment and
subassemblies thereof (MAE) from the People's Republic of China
(China).\1\ On July 8, 2025, Commerce selected Zhejiang Dingli
Machinery Co., Ltd. (Dingli) as the sole mandatory respondent in this
review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 90 FR 21459 (May 20, 2025) (Initiation
Notice); see also Certain Mobile Access Equipment and Subassemblies
Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order,
87 FR 22190 (April 14, 2022) (Order).
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Respondent Selection,'' dated July 8,
2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\3\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\4\ On February 27, 2026, we extended the deadline
for the preliminary results of this review to June 30, 2026.\5\ On June
30, 2026, we further extended the deadline for the preliminary results
of this review to July 7, 2026.\6\

and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the scope of the Order is MAE from
China. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an AD order where it concludes that
there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the
POR.\8\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the
suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate for the
review period.\9\ Therefore, for an administrative review to be
conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce
can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at
the calculated AD assessment rate for the review period.\10\ Commerce
notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the instant
review regarding the following four companies because there were no
reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise from these
companies during the POR: (1) Lingong Group Jinan Heavy Machinery Co.,
Ltd.; (2) Mantall Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.; (3) Noblelift Intelligent
Equipment Co., Ltd.; and (4) Sany Marine Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.\11\
Although we invited interested parties to comment,\12\ we received no
comments from any interested party.

380 F.Supp.3d 1328, 1337 (CIT 2019), at 12 (referring to section
751(a) of the Act, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that
``{w{time} hile the statute does not explicitly require that an
entry be suspended as a prerequisite for establishing entitlement to
a review, it does explicitly state the determined rate will be used
as the liquidation rate for the reviewed entries. This result can
only obtain if the liquidation of entries has been suspended''; see

rate'').

Part,'' dated March 13, 2026.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from
these companies during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative
review
[[Page 43602]]
for the above-referenced companies, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
One exporter in this review, Oshkosh JLG (Tianjin) Equipment
Technology Co., Ltd. (JLG Tianjin) certified that it had no shipments
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. At our
request, JLG Tianjin submitted documentation supporting its claim. As a
result, and based on the record evidence submitted by JLG Tianjin, we
preliminarily find that the company did not have shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Consistent with Commerce's assessment
practice, we are completing the review with respect to JLG Tianjin and
intend to issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final
results of review.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ``Preliminary
Determination of No Shipments'' for further discussion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Because
China is a non-market economy country within the meaning of section
771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in accordance with section 773(c)
of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our
preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that, in addition to Dingli, two
companies not individually examined are eligible for separate rates in
this administrative review, Hunan Sinoboom Intelligent Equipment Co.,
Ltd. (Sinoboom) and Terex (Changzhou) Machinery Co., Ltd. (Terex),
while one exporter, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Imp. & Exp.
Co., Ltd., is not.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ``Separate Rate
Determinations'' for further discussion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a separate rate to be applied to companies not selected for
individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for separate-rate
respondents which Commerce did not examine individually in an
administrative review.
Dumping Margin for Non-Selected Separate Rate Companies
The Act does not address the establishment of a rate to apply to
companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits
its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section
777A(e)(2) of the Act. However, Commerce's regulation at 19 CFR
351.109(g) states that Commerce will determine the rate for non-
selected companies by following the process set forth in 19 CFR
351.109(f)(1)-(2), which generally parallels the process for
determining the all-others rate in an investigation under section
735(c)(5) of the Act.
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.109(f) state that,
for companies not investigated, in general, we will determine an all-
others rate by weight averaging the estimated weighted-average dumping
margins established for the individually investigated exporters,
excluding zero and de minimis rates or any rates based entirely on
facts available.
Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average
dumping margin for Dingli that is not zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts otherwise available. Dingli is the sole mandatory
respondent in this review. Thus, the weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for Dingli is the preliminary dumping margin assigned to
Sinoboom and Terex in this administrative review.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\16\ Under this policy,
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity,
the entity is not under review, and the entity's rate (i.e., 165.14
percent) \17\ is not subject to change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\17\ See Order, 87 FR at 22191.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period April 1, 2024, through
March 31, 2025:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Non-Individually Examined Companies Receiving a Separate Rate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunan Sinoboom Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd............... 35.79
Terex (Changzhou) Machinery Co., Ltd........................ 35.79
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed to interested parties for these preliminary results within 10
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of this notice in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Verification
Commerce received a timely request from the petitioner \18\ to
verify the information submitted in this administrative review,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.307(b)(1).\19\ As provided in section 782(i)(3)
of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information reported by
Dingli prior to issuing its final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ The petitioner in this proceeding is the Coalition of
American Manufacturers of Mobile Access Equipment.
\19\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated April 30, 2025. Additionally, Commerce conducted no
verification in the prior two segments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than seven
days after the date on which the last verification report is issued in
this review. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case
briefs, may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing
case briefs.\20\ Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal
briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing
each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Procedures).
\21\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(iii) and (d)(2)(iii), we
request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their
briefs a public executive summary for each issue raised
[[Page 43603]]
in their briefs.\22\ Further, we request that interested parties limit
their public, executive summary of each issue to no more than 450
words, not including citations. We intend to use the public, executive
summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues
and decision memorandum that will accompany the final results in this
administrative review. We request that interested parties include
footnotes for relevant citations in the public, executive summary of
each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements
pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\23\ See APO and Service Procedures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party's
name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants,
and whether any participant is a foreign national; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Oral presentations at the hearing will be
limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is
made, Commerce will inform parties of the scheduled date for the
hearing.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\24\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this review.
If Dingli's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this
review, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered
value of those sales. Where we do not have entered values for all U.S.
sales to a particular importer, we will calculate an importer-specific,
per-unit assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
quantity of those sales.\25\ To determine whether an importer-specific,
per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an importer-specific ad valorem
ratio based on estimated entered values. If Dingli's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis or where an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\25\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\26\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database
submitted by Dingli during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate.
For the companies that were not selected for individual examination
in this administrative review but which qualified for a separate rate,
we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries at a rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
determined in the final results of this review, unless that rate is
zero or de minimis, in which case we intend to instruct CBP to
liquidate relevant entries without regards to antidumping duties.
With respect to JLG Tianjin, we have preliminarily found no
shipments and intend to issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on
the final results of the review.
Similarly, for the final results, if we continue to treat the
companies identified in Appendix II as part of the China-wide entity,
we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 165.14
percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were
exported by those companies.
For the companies for which the review is being rescinded with
these preliminary results, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries rates equal to the cash deposit rate
for estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption during the period April 1,
2024, through March 31, 2025, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP for the rescinded companies no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable. Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results in the Federal Register. If a timely
summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the companies
listed above which have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
that established in the final results of this review (except, if the
rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed China and non-China
exporters not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the existing rate for the
China-wide entity of 165.14 percent; and (4) for all non-China
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese
exporter that supplied that non-China exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of its analysis of issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs, within
120 days of publication of these preliminary results of review in the
Federal Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the
[[Page 43604]]
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the
amount of antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 7, 2026.
