This means these hangers will likely face the same duties as those from China and Vietnam starting September 22, 2026. Companies involved should get ready for possible extra costs and new rules soon. ## Abstract The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that imports of steel wire garment hangers (hangers), completed in Cambodia using: (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories, produced in the People's Republic of China (China) or the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam), are circumventing the antidumping duty (AD) order on hangers from China, or the AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on hangers from Vietnam. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination. ## Effects PRIA read - Huge cash deposits for hanger imports: cost, high. If you import steel wire garment hangers completed in Cambodia using Chinese- or Vietnamese-origin steel wire (or steel wire and paper accessories), U.S. Customs will suspend liquidation and require cash deposits for unliquidated entries entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after August 12, 2… - New dual certification program and record rules: cost, medium. Importers, producers, and exporters of these hangers must submit importer/producer/exporter certifications and supporting documents to CBP (uploaded into DIS in ACE) at the time the entry summary is filed, or within 45 days for certain prior unliquidated entries. Those parties must keep supporting… - Certain Cambodian exporters barred from certifying: cost, high. Commerce preliminarily found Alpha Hanger, Everbrit, and Kaining ineligible to certify that their hangers were produced using Chinese-origin inputs. Those companies cannot participate in the dual certification program and therefore cannot submit the certifications that would affect which duty rate… - Must convert prior entries and post deposits: cost, medium. For unliquidated entries of hangers from Cambodia entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after August 12, 2025 but made before this preliminary finding, importers must file a post-summary correction with CBP to convert those entries to AD/CVD entry types and report them under the identified thi… - Certified Chinese-origin entries face China AD rate: cost, medium. If both the exporter and importer certify in Commerce's dual circumvention certification program that the hangers were produced using Chinese-origin steel wire or steel wire and paper accessories, Commerce intends to direct CBP to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit at the antidumping ca… ## Related documents - [2025-05481](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2025-05481): Regulations Enhancing the Administration of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Trade Remedy Laws; Correction, 2025-03-31 - [2026-20777](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20777): Certain Paper Shopping Bags From Cambodia: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2024-2025, 2026-10-09 - [2026-20779](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20779): Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires From Thailand: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Revi…, 2026-10-09 - [2026-20778](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20778): Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products From the Republic of Korea: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2023, 2026-10-09 - [2026-20690](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20690): Oleoresin Paprika From India: Antidumping Duty Order and Countervailing Duty Order, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20691](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20691): Certain Paper Shopping Bags From Taiwan: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2024-2025, 2026-10-08 ## Sources - [2026-19376 on federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/22/2026-19376/steel-wire-garment-hangers-from-the-peoples-republic-of-china-and-the-socialist-republic-of-vietnam) - [2026-19376 as published (PDF)](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-22/pdf/2026-19376.pdf) ## Related - [Previous: 2026-19375, Polyethylene Terephthalate Resin From the Sultanate of Oman: Amended Final Resu…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-19375) - [Next: 2026-19377, Large Diameter Welded Pipe From Canada: Preliminary Results of Changed Circumst…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-19377) - [All Federal Register documents](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-19376 (as of 2026-09-29).
