### Description

The United States International Trade Commission determined, following five-year reviews, that revoking the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on small vertical shaft engines from China would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission instituted the reviews on April 1, 2026, and later conducted expedited reviews. The determinations were completed and filed on October 16, 2026.
