Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep the special taxes on steel wire garment hangers from China because removing them could hurt American businesses. This means importers and U.S. hanger makers should expect these duties to stay in place for now. The decision was finalized in January 2025 after a quick review that started in July 2024.

Antidumping Duties Stay for Importers
If you import steel wire garment hangers from China, the U.S. International Trade Commission decided on January 27, 2025 to keep the antidumping duties in place after a five-year review that began July 1, 2024 and was expedited on October 4, 2024. Importers should expect to continue paying those duties for now.
U.S. Hanger Makers Remain Protected
If you make steel wire garment hangers in the United States, the Commission found on January 27, 2025 that revoking the antidumping order would likely cause material injury, so the duties on imports from China will remain to protect the U.S. industry. The review was instituted July 1, 2024 and completed as an expedited review with an October 4, 2024 expedited determination.
