en.Wedoany.com Reported - On July 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination on dry van trailers imported from Canada and Mexico, finding that Mexican dry van trailers were sold in the United States at less than fair value, with applicable antidumping duty rates ranging from 3.21% to 79.92%. These preliminary antidumping duties are in addition to the previously announced preliminary countervailing duties, which address unfair subsidies received by Mexican trailer producers. The Department also decided to extend the scope of the existing antidumping/countervailing duty orders on dry van trailers from China to cover Chinese-origin merchandise shipped to the United States via Canada.

The American Trailer Manufacturers Coalition (ATMC), comprising Great Dane LLC, Stoughton Trailers LLC, and Wabash National Corporation, welcomed the determinations. Robert E. DeFrancesco, ATMC trade counsel and partner in the international trade practice at Wiley LLP, stated that these preliminary determinations are an important step toward restoring fair competition in the U.S. trailer market, and the Coalition looks forward to working with the Department in the final phase of the investigations to ensure that U.S. trailer manufacturers and their employees receive full relief and can compete on a level playing field.

The U.S. trailer industry directly supports nearly 10,000 American jobs and indirectly supports approximately 50,000 American jobs.

The two determinations represent another action by the U.S. government in its ongoing response to unfair global trade practices that have caused material injury to U.S. trailer manufacturers and their workers. The Department's final determinations are expected to be announced later this year.

The American Trailer Manufacturers Coalition represents major U.S. trailer producers, with its members including the three companies mentioned above.
