ITC: Chinese tow-behind lawn groomers clip U.S. makers

ITC: Chinese tow-behind lawn groomers clip U.S. makers    The U.S. International Trade Commission on Wednesday determined that U.S. manufacturers of tow-behind lawn groomers are injured by similar imports from China, which the U.S. Commerce Department had determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.
   As a result of the ITC's affirmative determinations, the Commerce Department will issue countervailing and antidumping duty orders on imports of these products from China.
   Agri-Fab in Sullivan, Ill., requested the ITC investigation in early 2008. There are five U.S. producers of tow-behind lawn groomers with plants in California, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the ITC said.
