INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-648 and 731-TA-1521-1522 (Final)]
Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers From China and Vietnam
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of walk-behind lawn mowers from China found by the
U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United
States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the
[[Page 36305]]
government of China, and threatened with material injury by reason of
imports of walk-behind lawn mowers from Vietnam found by Commerce to be
sold at LTFV, provided for in subheading 8433.11.00 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective May 26,
2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by MTD Products, Inc., Valley City, Ohio. The final phase of
the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of
walk-behind lawn mowers from China were subsidized within the meaning
of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of
walk-behind lawn mowers from China and Vietnam were sold at LTFV within
the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register on January 29, 2021 (86 FR 7565). In
light of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through
video conference on May 18, 2021. All persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C.
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these
investigations on July 6, 2021. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5209 (July 2021), entitled Walk-Behind
Lawn Mowers from China and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-648 and
731-TA-1521-1522 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: July 6, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
