On January 24, 2024, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) made an important decision regarding gas - powered high - pressure cleaners (Gas Powered Pressure Washers) imported from China. In a key vote, the ITC determined that these涉案 products caused material injury or threat of material injury to the US domestic industry. This affirmative final determination means that, according to the ruling of the United States International Trade Commission, the US Department of Commerce will issue anti - dumping and counter - vailing duty orders on these products from China. The products involved in this case are classified under the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule number 8424.30.9000.

The background of this decision began on January 20, 2023, when the US Department of Commerce launched an anti - dumping investigation on gas - powered high - pressure cleaners imported from China and Vietnam, and a counter - vailing investigation on the same products imported from China. Subsequently, on August 23 of the same year, the US Department of Commerce made an affirmative final anti - dumping determination on gas - powered high - pressure cleaners imported from Vietnam.緊接著, on December 19, 2023, the US Department of Commerce also made affirmative final anti - dumping and counter - vailing duty determinations on gas - powered high - pressure cleaners imported from China.

This series of investigations and determinations shows the USs determination to protect its domestic manufacturing industry from foreign competition. Gas - powered high - pressure cleaners, as a commonly used industrial and household cleaning equipment, have a wide range of applications in the US market. The final determination of the United States International Trade Commission reflects the USs support and protection attitude towards its domestic cleaning equipment manufacturing industry.

For Chinese exporters, this decision may have a significant impact on their business in the US market. Anti - dumping and counter - vailing duty orders may lead to an increase in the price of these Chinese - made products in the US market, thus reducing their competitiveness in the US.

At the same time, this decision may also have a certain impact on the global cleaning equipment market. As the US implements more stringent trade measures against Chinese products, the global supply chain and trade pattern may be adjusted. This not only involves the trade relations between China and the US, but may also affect the relevant markets and enterprises in other countries and regions.

In the context of a globalized economy, changes in international trade policies and measures will continue to affect the development of industries in various countries and the competition pattern in the international market. The final determination of the United States International Trade Commission emphasizes the importance of protecting domestic industries in international trade, and also reminds global manufacturers and exporters to pay close attention to changes in international trade policies to adapt to the constantly changing global market environment.
