Float Glass Products From Malaysia: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination
Published Date: 2/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Malaysian float glass makers got unfair government help, so they’re adding extra taxes (countervailing duties) on these imports starting February 9, 2026. This means companies importing float glass from Malaysia will pay more, helping U.S. glass producers compete fairly. The decision covers all float glass made and shipped during 2023.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Countervailing Duty Rates Set
Commerce set estimated countervailing duty rates for Malaysian float glass for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The rates are: Jinjing Technology Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. 17.25%, Xinyi Energy Smart (M) Sdn. Bhd. 28.45%, NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass) 101.99% (rate based on adverse facts available), and All Others 27.32%.
Suspension of Liquidation and Deposits
Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits and suspend liquidation for entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 19, 2025, and through September 15, 2025 (suspension discontinued for entries on or after September 16, 2025). If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, Commerce will reinstate suspension and require cash deposits for entries on or after the effective suspension date.
ITC Injury Decision and Deposit Refunds
The ITC will decide within 45 days whether U.S. producers are materially injured or threatened by imports of Malaysian float glass. If the ITC finds no material injury, the proceeding will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded; if the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue a CVD order and duties will be assessed as described.
Products and HTSUS Codes Covered
The decision defines the covered float glass products as soda-lime-silica float glass with actual thickness at least 2.0 mm and surface area at least 0.37 square meters (4.0 square feet), and lists specific HTSUS subheadings (for example, 7005.10.8000, 7005.21.1010, 7005.21.1030, 7005.21.2000, 7005.29.1810, 7005.29.1850, 7005.29.2500, 7007.29.0000, 7008.00.0000, 7009.91.5010, 7009.91.5095, and 7009.92.5010) that may be used for classification.
