Avoiding Double Anti-Sanctions US Investigates Two Chinese Products for Evasion

On July 11, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated anti-circumvention investigations on anti-dumping and countervailing duty cases related to Chinese disposable aluminum tableware and certain vertical engines and their components with displacements between 99cc and 225cc. These probes investigate whether products imported from Thailand and Vietnam using Chinese materials, or certain Chinese exports themselves, are evading existing U.S. trade remedies.
These investigations target circumvention of measures already in place, as the U.S. had previously imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties on these products, with final rulings issued for aluminum tableware in March 2025 and for vertical engines in March 2021. If evasion is confirmed, the U.S. may strengthen restrictions by expanding tariff scopes or intensifying existing duties to maintain the effectiveness of trade measures.
The investigations come amid a U.S.-China trade war ceasefire agreement reached in Geneva on May 12, which included a temporary 90-day reduction of tariffs by 115 percentage points, set to expire on August 12, 2025. The anti-circumvention probes reflect ongoing efforts by the U.S. to enforce trade rules even during this ceasefire period.
