The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China and Vietnam.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

The Commission also made an affirmative critical circumstances finding with regard to imports of these products from Vietnam subject to Commerce’s affirmative determination of critical circumstances. Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative regarding critical circumstances; Commissioner David S. Johanson voted in the negative.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping duty orders and countervailing duty orders on imports of these products from China and Vietnam.

The Commission’s public report on Thermoformed Molded Fiber Products from China and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-739-740 and 731-TA-1716-1717 (Final), USITC Publication 5964, January 2026) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by January 23, 2026; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
