Final Dumping / Subsidy Rates-
EC AD CVD Final Determinations of Low-Speed Personal Transportation Vehicles from China
Based on the final antidumping and countervailing duty determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce on June 17, 2025, new golf carts manufactured by Guangdong Lvtong New Energy Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. (including the brands ICON, Evolution, Advance, Epic, and others) will see a significant cost increase. The Department set a dumping margin of 119.39% and a subsidy rate of 31.45%, resulting in combined duties of approximately 150.84% of the import value. For example, if the base import cost of a golf cart is $9,000, the combined duties would add about $13,576, bringing the total to around $22,576. Even a cart with a landed cost of $6,000 could see an increase of more than $9,000, making the final cost roughly $15,000. This will hit August 7, 2025.
