USITC: Float Glass Imports from China and Malaysia Injure US Industry
Summary
The USITC has determined that imports of float glass from China sold at less than fair value and subsidized, and imports from Malaysia found to be subsidized, have injured the U.S. industry. Consequently, antidumping and countervailing duty orders will be issued for China, and countervailing duty orders for Malaysia. The antidumping investigation for Malaysia was terminated due to negligible imports.
What changed
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) issued a final determination that U.S. industries are materially injured by imports of float glass from China, which are sold at less than fair value and subsidized, and by subsidized imports of float glass from Malaysia. As a result, the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders against Chinese imports and countervailing duty orders against Malaysian imports. The USITC also found that antidumping duty imports from Malaysia were negligible, leading to the termination of that specific investigation.
This determination means that U.S. Customs and Border Protection will now collect antidumping and countervailing duties on these imports. Manufacturers and importers of float glass products from China and Malaysia should prepare for the imposition of these duties. The USITC's public report, expected by April 17, 2026, will provide further details on the investigations and the Commission's findings.
What to do next
- Prepare for the imposition of antidumping and countervailing duties on float glass imports from China and countervailing duties on float glass imports from Malaysia.
- Review the USITC's public report on Float Glass Products from China and Malaysia (USITC Publication 5715) when available.
Penalties
Antidumping and countervailing duties will be imposed on imports from China and countervailing duties on imports from Malaysia.

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.
The report will be available by April 17, 2026; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and more information about the investigations can be found at the Commission’s Investigations Database System (IDS).
