Federal Register: Expedited Review of Large Vertical Shaft Engines from China

Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

June 12, 2026 – The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced an expedited review of antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders concerning large vertical shaft engines imported from China.

The review process is informed by the Tariff Act of 1930. The goal is to determine if revoking these duties would likely lead to continued or renewed harm to the U.S. industry within a foreseeable future.

On May 8, 2026, the Commission decided that responses from U.S. parties who are interested in these reviews were adequate. However, responses from Chinese parties were inadequate. Therefore, the USITC will conduct an expedited review instead of a full review.

Key dates and procedural rules govern this review. A detailed staff report will be available on July 7, 2026, for those with access to the Administrative Protective Order service list. A public version will follow.

All interested parties can submit written comments by July 14, 2026. These should not include new facts. Should the Department of Commerce take more time to finalize its own review, comments will be due three business days after their final results are issued.

Comments with sensitive business information must follow rules set by the USITC. The Commission’s Handbook on Filing Procedures provides further guidance on these requirements.

All documents filed must be served on other review parties, and a certificate of service is required for each filing.

The review is classified as extraordinarily complicated. The Commission has extended the review period by up to 90 days. This action is within the Commission’s authority under the Tariff Act of 1930.
