The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has officially received a complaint titled “Certain Off-Road Vehicles and Components Thereof,” Docket No. 3883.
The complaint was filed on February 2, 2026. It was submitted by Polaris Inc., Polaris Industries Inc., and Polaris Sales Inc.
The complaint was made under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337). It claims that certain off-road vehicles and parts made abroad are being sold in the U.S. in a way that may violate U.S. trade laws.
The complaint names two companies:
- Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd. of China
- CFMOTO Powersports, Inc. of Plymouth, Minnesota
Polaris asks the Commission to issue:
- A limited exclusion order
- Cease and desist orders
- A bond requirement during the 60-day Presidential review period under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j)
The Commission is asking the public and interested parties to send in comments. These comments should talk about any public interest concerns the complaint brings up.
The Commission wants feedback about:
- (i) How the off-road vehicles or parts in the complaint are used in the U.S.
- (ii) Any U.S. public health, safety, or welfare issues tied to the orders being requested
- (iii) What U.S.-made products—by Polaris, their licensees, or others—could replace those involved in the complaint
- (iv) If Polaris or other suppliers could fill demand in a reasonable time if the vehicles or parts are banned
- (v) How this would affect U.S. consumers
All comments must be submitted by eight calendar days after the notice was published.
Polaris may send replies to submitted comments three calendar days after the comment deadline.
Each submission, including any attachments, must be five (5) pages or less.
All comments must be filed electronically through the Commission’s Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov.
Paper documents will not be accepted at this time.
Persons filing documents marked confidential must request confidential treatment. These requests must include a full explanation under 19 CFR 201.6.
Confidential materials may be shared with:
- USITC staff and contract workers for official uses
- U.S. Government employees and contract workers, for cybersecurity purposes
All non-confidential documents will be available to the public via EDIS.
This action is taken under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and Commission Rules 19 CFR 201.10 and 210.8(c).
