Published Date: 2/4/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. has ended its five-year review of special taxes on PET plastic sheets from South Korea because no one from the U.S. spoke up to keep them. This means the extra fees on these imports are now gone as of January 12, 2026, which could change prices for businesses and shoppers. The review was delayed due to a government shutdown but wrapped up smoothly once deadlines were extended.
