Preliminary Finding May Lead to Duties
On May 12, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a preliminary determination that some thermoformed molded fiber products from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam may be sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. If upheld, this finding could lead to additional antidumping duties on those imported products, increasing costs for importers and sellers of the covered items.
Final Decision Delayed; Provisional Measures Extended
