Malaysia Plastic Bags Cleared in Antidumping Review
Published Date: 8/7/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from Malaysia were not sold in the United States at less than normal value during the period of review (POR), August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
All-Others Cash Deposit Rate Remains 84.94%
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after August 7, 2026, the cash deposit rate for producers or exporters not covered in this review will continue to be 84.94%, the all-others rate from the original investigation. If you import polyethylene retail carrier bags from other Malaysian producers, you will likely need to post a cash deposit at 84.94% unless another company-specific rate applies.
Unreviewed Euro SME Entries May Face 84.94% Rate
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries produced by Euro SME for which Euro SME did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States at the all-others rate of 84.94%, if there is no rate for the intermediate company. That means some entries tied to Euro SME could be assessed at 84.94%.
Euro SME Found No Dumping
Commerce 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 period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. This means entries from those two named producers for that period will be treated as not subject to antidumping duties based on this review.
Euro SME Cash Deposit Rate Set to 0%
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (August 7, 2026), the cash deposit rate for Euro SME will be equal to the company-specific rate determined in this review (0.00%). If you import bags from Euro SME after that date, you will not have to make antidumping cash deposits based on this company-specific result.
Importers Must File Reimbursement Certificate
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of entries for this period, per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If you fail to file the certificate before liquidation, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.

This means U.S. steel buyers might pay a bit more, and Korean producers will have to adjust to these new rules.

This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.
