Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From Malaysia: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. checked if Euro SME from Malaysia sold plastic shopping bags too cheaply between August 2023 and July 2024. They found no unfair pricing, so no extra taxes will be added—for now. Businesses involved should watch for final decisions and can share their thoughts before the review wraps up.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
No Preliminary Antidumping Margin
Commerce preliminarily found that Euro SME Sdn. Bhd. and Euro Nature Green Sdn. Bhd. had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00% for polyethylene retail carrier bags for the review period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. That means, for now, no antidumping duties are being applied to those reviewed sales for that period.
Automatic 84.94% Assessment Risk for Some Entries
For entries of subject merchandise produced by Euro SME for which Euro SME did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate of 84.94% if there is no rate for intermediate companies involved. That could lead to very large duties for those entries.
Cash Deposit Rate Rules After Final Results
When the final results are published, cash deposit requirements for shipments entered on or after the publication date will change: company-specific cash deposit rates will equal the final company margins, prior segment rates will continue for some firms, and the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will remain 84.94%. These deposit rules affect how much importers must post at entry.
Final Results Determine Duty Assessment
Commerce will issue final results later; if a respondent's final weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on the appropriate entries. If the margin or importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Importer Certificate and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for this period. If an importer fails to file the required certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
