AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued countervailing duty orders on float glass products from China and Malaysia following affirmative injury determinations by the International Trade Commission. These orders impose duties on subsidized imports that are materially injuring the U.S. float glass industry. The orders apply to soda-lime-silica glass manufactured by the float process with thickness of at least 2.0 mm and surface area of at least 0.37 m². Cash deposit rates range from 19.75% for most Chinese producers to 113.34% for several others, and from 17.25% to 101.99% for Malaysian producers. Duties apply to unliquidated entries from May 19, 2025 onward, with suspension of liquidation resuming on April 6, 2026.
