Big news just dropped yesterday! On July 17, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) issued its final affirmative determination.
What does this mean for Chinese golf carts? With the USITC’s affirmative vote (including on critical circumstances), the Commerce Department will now issue anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on these Chinese imports. Duties could be retroactive and will make future imports much more expensive or stop them entirely for at least five years. The Chinese imports will likely rush to liquidate their current inventory at steep discounts and cash out.
If you’re considering a Chinese-made cart, think twice: Parts and repairs could become impossible to source or insanely pricey once the supply dries up.
This is a massive victory for domestic and established players like Club Car, EZGO, and Yamaha, who pushed for these investigations to level the playing field against unfairly priced competition.
Here is the ruling -
