US Imposes Duties on Chinese and Vietnamese Molded Fiber Imports
Published Date: 1/7/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. has decided that imports of thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam are hurting American businesses because they’re being sold at unfairly low prices and getting government help. This means extra duties will be applied to these imports to protect U.S. companies like Genera and Tellus. These changes kick in soon and aim to level the playing field and support American jobs.

ITC Finds Injury from China, Vietnam Imports
The U.S. International Trade Commission determined that U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of thermoformed molded fiber products (TMFPs) from China and Vietnam that Commerce found were sold at less than fair value and subsidized. The products are covered under Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheading 4823.70.00, and the Commission completed and filed these determinations on January 5, 2026. The petitioners included Genera Inc. and Tellus Products, LLC.
Critical Circumstances Could Undermine Remedies
The Commission found that imports subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determination are likely to seriously undermine the remedial effect of the countervailing duty orders on TMFPs from Vietnam. This finding was included in the Commission's final determinations filed January 5, 2026 and signals concern about rapid import increases that could affect relief efforts.
