ITC Upholds AD Duties on Washing Machines from China
Written by Becca Moczygemba

The US International Trade Commission is not afraid to air out dirty laundry.
On August 3, the USITC ruled to maintain the existing antidumping duties on imports of large residential washing machines from China. The duties have been in place since 2016.
Under the current order, a large residential washing machine is considered to be any automatic clothes washing machine with a width of a minimum of 24.5 inches and maximum of 32 inches.
An affirmative vote by one chairman and four commissioners solidified the ITC’s decision to keep the duties in place during this most recent five-year sunset review. This is a standard practice that is required by The Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
The Uruguay Round requires Commerce to abolish an antidumping or countervailing duty order after five years, unless they, in conjunction with the USITC, decide that terminating the order would perpetuate dumping or subsidies within a reasonable amount of time.
Based on information from the USITC, a full report of the review will be accessible by September 2, 2022. When available, the report can be accessed at https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
