What changed

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a final determination finding that imports of float glass products from China and Malaysia are causing material injury to the U.S. domestic industry. This finding follows determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce that these products are being sold at less than fair value and are subsidized by the governments of China and Malaysia. Consequently, Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders.

These orders will impose additional duties on imported float glass from China and Malaysia, impacting importers and potentially domestic manufacturers. Companies involved in the import or production of float glass should review the USITC's findings and prepare for the implementation of these new trade remedies. The full report detailing the Commission's views will be available by April 17, 2026.

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 and Malaysia 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 Malaysia.

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

The Commission also made a negative critical circumstances determination with respect to certain imports from Malaysia for which Commerce has made a final affirmative critical circumstances finding in the antidumping duty investigation concerning Malaysia.

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