Preliminary Finding of Subsidies for Chinese Float Glass
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that producers and exporters of float glass products from the People’s Republic of China received countervailable subsidies during the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. This is an official finding in a trade enforcement review focused on those producers and exporters.
Possible Extra Taxes on Chinese Float Glass Imports
The notice indicates that extra taxes (countervailing duties) could be applied to imports of float glass from China as part of the trade remedy process. If you import or sell float glass tied to these producers or exporters, those imports may face additional duties as the case moves toward final determinations.
