Float Glass Products from China and Malaysia Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC [UPDATED]
The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of float glass products from China 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 government of China, as well as by reason of imports of float glass products from Malaysia that Commerce has found to be subsidized by the government of Malaysia.
The Commission further found that the imports of these products from Malaysia that Commerce has determined are sold at less than fair value are negligible and voted to terminate the antidumping duty investigation concerning Malaysia.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative in the antidumping investigation concerning China and in the countervailing duty investigations concerning China and Malaysia, and Commissioner David S. Johanson voted in the negative in the antidumping investigation concerning China and in the countervailing duty investigations concerning China and Malaysia. Chair Amy A. Karpel, Commissioner David S. Johanson, and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns found imports from Malaysia to be negligible in the antidumping duty investigation.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order on these products from China and countervailing duty orders on imports of these products from China and Malaysia. As a result of the finding of negligibility, the antidumping duty investigation regarding imports from Malaysia will be terminated.
The Commission’s public report on Float Glass Products from China and Malaysia (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-748-749 and 731-TA-1726-1727 (Final), USITC Publication 5715, March 2026) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
