CIT grants ICON EV preliminary injunction against CBP EAPA interim measures in LSPTV evasion case

ICON EV LLC v. United States Public version: 04/24/2026.

AI summary

The U.S. Court of International Trade granted ICON EV LLC a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order on April 24, 2026, in Court No. 26-02759, enjoining CBP's interim measures imposed under the Enforce and Protect Act during its EAPA investigation, EAPA Cons. Case 8247, into alleged evasion of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on low-speed personal transportation vehicles from China. CBP had imposed the measures on April 6, 2026, finding reasonable suspicion of evasion by misclassification and transshipment through Vietnam, including suspension and extension of liquidation and a live-entry requirement at the 519.23 percent ad valorem all-others AD/CVD cash-deposit rate.

Why it matters

Importers of Chinese-origin low-speed personal transportation vehicles and parts facing EAPA interim measures can look to this ruling on CBP's live-entry and cash-deposit requirements pending the investigation.
