The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of gas powered pressure washers from China and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.

Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, Randolph J. Stayin, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of gas powered pressure washers from China and Vietnam, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about March 27, 2023, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about June 8, 2023.

The Commission’s public report Gas Powered Pressure Washers from China and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-684 and 731-TA-1597-1598 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5409, February 2023) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
