U.S. Keeps Antidumping Duties on Lawn Groomers from China
Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes
On January 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the final results of its third sunset review of antidumping duties for tow-behind lawn groomers and certain parts from China.
The Department of Commerce found that cancelling the antidumping duty order would likely lead to continued or recurring dumping of these products into the U.S. market. Dumping means selling products in the U.S. at prices lower than in the home country, which can hurt American companies.
This order applies to lawn groomers from China. Agri-Fab, Inc., a U.S. manufacturer, took part as the domestic interested party in this review. The company sent in a notice of its intent to participate and a full response. There was no response from any interested parties in China.
Because there was no response from the Chinese side, the review was conducted quickly, as allowed by law. There were some delays due to a government shutdown and extra paperwork, so the deadline for the final results was moved to January 5, 2026.
The review found that if the order was lifted, dumping would likely continue or happen again. The Department determined that the dumping margins could be as high as 386.28 percent. This means Chinese exporters would sell lawn groomers in the U.S. at much lower prices than in China.
The Department of Commerce followed all rules under sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, and related regulations.
The findings and full details of issues discussed are available in the “Issues and Decision Memorandum” on the Department’s website at https://access.trade.gov or https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
All parties with protected information must follow rules to return or destroy documents as required.
The notice was signed by Abdelali Elouaradia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance on January 5, 2026.
