On February 26, 2026, the USITC announced investigation 332-609 into the economic effects of revoking China’s permanent normal trade relations treatment. The announcement describes a factfinding study of possible scenarios.
Separate a study from a tariff measure
The announcement does not itself revoke PNTR or impose a new cabinet duty. This article summarizes that dated announcement, not a current tariff schedule or a review of any subsequent report.
Plan around the specific order
Compare proposed sources and landed costs for the actual component. Devine Courtly’s international supply routes and optional Cincinnati distribution are confirmed by order; they do not establish US manufacturing or eliminate duty exposure.
