Commerce preliminarily determines that truck bed covers from China are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less-than-fair-value. Applicable October 1, 2026 (91 FR 62495; FR Doc. 2026-20163; case A-570-223). POI July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Final determination postponed, with provisional measures extended up to six months.
China truck bed covers: prelim affirmative LTFV. Golden Sun 51.35% (CD 51.17%); Tianmao 46.95% (CD 46.77%); separate-rate firms 49.56% (CD 49.38%); China-wide 107.58% AFA (CD 107.41%). Suspend from Oct 1, 2026. Final within 135 days.
Preliminary dumping margins
Hangzhou Golden Sun Autoparts: 51.35% WADM · cash deposit 51.17%
Wenzhou Tianmao / Wenzhou Chaoming (single entity): 46.95% WADM · cash deposit 46.77%
Non-examined separate-rate producer/exporter combinations: 49.56% WADM · cash deposit 49.38%
China-wide entity: 107.58% AFA · cash deposit 107.41%
POI: July 1–Dec 31, 2025 · Initiation March 20, 2026 (91 FR 13568)
Commerce calculated individual margins for Golden Sun and Tianmao that are not zero, de minimis, or entirely AFA, and assigned a weighted-average separate rate to non-examined separate-rate companies based on publicly ranged U.S. sales values. The China-wide entity rate relies on facts available with adverse inferences. Cash deposit rates above are adjusted for companion CVD subsidy offsets while CVD provisional measures remain in effect.
Suspension of liquidation
Commerce will direct CBP to suspend liquidation of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after October 1, 2026, and require cash deposits at the producer/exporter combination rates in the notice, the China-wide rate for combinations without separate rates, or the rate applicable to the Chinese supplier for third-country exporters. If companion CVD provisional measures expire first, deposits become unadjusted.
On September 14, 2026, Golden Sun requested postponement of the final determination and extension of provisional measures to not more than six months. Commerce is postponing the final determination to no later than 135 days after publication of this preliminary determination.
