Low Speed Personal Transportation Vehicles from China Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of low speed personal transportation vehicles from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.

Chair Amy Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue a countervailing duty order and antidumping duty order on imports of these products from China. 

The Commission made affirmative critical circumstances findings with regard to the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on imports of this product from China. Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative on the issue of critical circumstances in both investigations, and Commissioner David S. Johanson voted in the negative in both investigations. 

The Commission’s public report, Low Speed Personal Transportation Vehicles from China (Inv. Nos 701-TA-730 and 731-TA-1700 (Final), USITC Publication 5652, July 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by August 26, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.

Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and more information about these investigations can be found at the Commission’s Investigations Database System (IDS).
