INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-684 and 731-TA-1597 (Final)]
Gas Powered Pressure Washers From China
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 gas powered pressure washers from China, provided
for in subheadings 8424.30.90 and 8424.90.90 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States
at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and subsidized by the government of
China.<SUP>2 3</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 88 FR 88365 (December 21, 2023), 88 FR 88578 (December 22,
2023).
\3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping or
countervailing duty orders on gas powered pressure washes from
China.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective December
30, 2022, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by FNA Group, Inc., Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. The
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations following
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of
gas powered pressure washers from Vietnam were being sold at LTFV
within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b))
and that imports of gas powered pressure washers from China were being
subsidized by the government of China within the meaning of section
703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(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 June 22, 2023 (88 FR 40865). The Commission conducted its
hearing through written testimony and video conference on August 24,
2023. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to
participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not
postpone its final determination for the antidumping duty investigation
regarding gas powered pressured washers from Vietnam, while it did
postpone the final determinations for the antidumping and
countervailing duty investigations regarding gas powered pressure
washers from China. On October 13, 2023, the Commission issued a final
affirmative determination in its antidumping duty investigation of gas
powered pressure washers from Vietnam (88 FR 71885, October 18, 2023).
Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports
of gas powered pressure washers from China were being sold at LTFV
within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a))
[[Page 9178]]
and subsidized by the government of China within the meaning of section
705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(a)), notice of the supplemental
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's antidumping and
countervailing duty investigations 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 of January 2, 2024 (89 FR 90).
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 February 5, 2024. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5488 (February 2024), entitled Gas
Powered Pressure Washers from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-684 and
731-TA-1597 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: February 5, 2024.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
