Due to differences in the reported units of measurement under these HTSUS subheadings, the table above only reflects the value of such imports. Additionally, imports of chassis enter under HTSUS subheadings that may cover subject and non-subject merchandise. Therefore, publicly available import data may not accurately reflect actual imports of chassis covered by the scope of the investigations.
