Float Glass Products From the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
Published Date: 2/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that float glass from China is being sold in the U.S. for less than it should be, which isn’t fair to American businesses. Starting February 9, 2026, extra duties will apply to these imports to level the playing field. This means importers will pay more, helping U.S. glass makers compete better and protecting jobs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Large Antidumping Rates Imposed
Commerce found float glass from China sold at less than fair value and assigned very large estimated dumping margins. Many named producer/exporter combinations have an adjusted weighted-average dumping margin/cash-deposit rate of 151.29 percent, while the China-wide entity rate is 181.54 percent; these rates apply if an antidumping duty order is issued.
Which Shipments Have Suspension
Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of subject entries entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 15, 2025. Commerce later discontinued suspension of liquidation for entries on or after January 11, 2026, but continued suspension for entries on or before January 10, 2026.
How Cash-Deposit Rates Will Be Set
If the U.S. International Trade Commission finds injury and Commerce issues an antidumping duty order, CBP will require cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties: (1) the table lists company-specific cash-deposit rates for listed producer/exporter combinations; (2) combinations without separate-rate eligibility will pay the China-wide entity rate; and (3) third-country exporters not listed pay the rate of the supplying Chinese producer or the China-wide rate.
Scope Changes Define Covered Products
Commerce modified the scope to add certain Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) subheadings and set product thresholds and exclusions: covered float glass has actual thickness at least 2.0 mm and surface area at least 0.37 square meters (4.0 square feet), and Appendix I lists included HTSUS subheadings and multiple exclusions (e.g., wired glass, patterned flat glass Type II, certain solar glass products).
