Extension of Initiation of Investigations
The Petitions
On November 20, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
received antidumping and countervailing duty petitions on imports of
certain van-type trailers and subassemblies thereof (van-type trailers)
from Canada, Mexico, and China filed in proper form on behalf of the
American Trailer Manufacturers Coalition (the petitioner),\1\ the
members of which are domestic producers of van-type trailers.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The members of the American Trailer Manufacturers Coalition
are Great Dane LLC, Stoughton Trailers LLC, and Wabash National
Corporation.
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Petitions for the Imposition of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duties on Imports of Van-Type
Trailers and Subassemblies Thereof from Canada, Mexico, and the
People's Republic of China,'' dated November 20, 2025 (Petitions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal
Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all
deadlines in administrative proceedings by 21 days.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of All Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.

Determination of Industry Support for the Petitions
Sections 702(b)(1) and 732(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), require that a petition be filed by or on behalf of
the domestic industry. To determine that the petition has been filed by
or on behalf of the industry, sections 702(c)(4)(A) and 732(c)(4)(A) of
the Act require that the domestic producers or workers who support the
petition account for: (i) at least 25 percent of the total production
of the domestic like product; and (ii) more than 50 percent of the
production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the
industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the petition.
Moreover, sections 702(c)(4)(D) and 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provide
that, if the petition does not establish support of domestic producers
or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production
of the domestic like product, Commerce shall: (i) poll the industry or
rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for
the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or (ii) if there is a
large number of producers, determine industry support using a
statistically valid sampling method to poll the industry.
Extension of Time
Sections 702(c)(1)(A) and 732(c)(1)(A) of the Act provide that
within 20 days of the filing of an antidumping or countervailing duty
petition, Commerce will determine, inter alia, whether the petition has
been filed by or on behalf of the U.S. industry producing the domestic
like product. Sections 702(c)(1)(B) and 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act provide
that the deadline for the initiation determination, in exceptional
circumstances, may be extended by 20 days in any case in which Commerce
must ``poll or otherwise determine support for the petition by the
industry.'' Because it is not clear from the Petitions whether the
industry support criteria have been met, Commerce has determined it
should extend the time period for determining whether to initiate the
investigations in order to further examine the issue of industry
support.
Commerce will need additional time to gather and analyze additional
information regarding industry support. Therefore, it is necessary to
extend the deadline for determining the adequacy of the Petitions by an
additional 20 days. As a result, in accordance with sections
702(c)(1)(B) and 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce's initiation
determination will now be due no later than January 20, 2026.
International Trade Commission Notification
Commerce will contact the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
and will make this extension notice available to the ITC.
Dated: December 31, 2025.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
