No New Duties on Malaysian Plastic Bags
If you import polyethylene retail carrier bags from Malaysia that were sold to the U.S. between August 1, 2022 and July 31, 2023, the Department of Commerce found they were not sold at less than normal value. Commerce will not add antidumping duties for that period, so importers and businesses that buy those bags can avoid surprise extra taxes or fees for those shipments.
