Float Glass Products From Malaysia: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part
Published Date: 2/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that float glass from Malaysia is being sold in the U.S. for less than fair value, which means unfairly low prices. Starting February 9, 2026, importers of this glass will face new duties to level the playing field for American businesses. This change helps protect U.S. manufacturers and could affect prices and supply of float glass products.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 3 mixed.
NSG faces high AFA penalty and retroactive duties
Commerce assigned NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass) an estimated dumping margin of 31.55% based on facts available with adverse inferences. Because Commerce found critical circumstances for NSG, suspension of liquidation will apply to NSG entries entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 16, 2025 through January 10, 2026.
Antidumping duties on Malaysian float glass
If you import float glass from Malaysia, new antidumping measures apply starting February 9, 2026. Commerce set company-specific cash deposit rates of 8.78% for Jinjing Technology Malaysia, 31.55% for NSG (rate based on adverse facts available), 0.00% for Xinyi Energy Smart (Malaysia), and an "All Others" rate of 8.78%.
Xinyi shipments excluded; cash deposits refunded
Commerce calculated a 0.00% dumping margin for merchandise exported and produced by Xinyi Energy Smart (Malaysia). Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to terminate suspension of liquidation for Xinyi entries and refund any cash deposits, and Xinyi merchandise will be excluded from the antidumping duty order if an order is issued.
Suspension of liquidation for other Malaysian entries
Suspension of liquidation will continue for applicable entries of subject merchandise (other than NSG-specific earlier window) that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 15, 2025 through January 10, 2026. If the ITC issues a final affirmative injury determination, Commerce will provide CBP instructions to assess antidumping duties and require cash deposits at the listed company or all-others rates.
Final ITC decision decides refunds or duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) will make its final injury determination no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC finds no material injury, the proceeding will end, all cash deposits will be refunded, and suspension of liquidation will be lifted; if the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order and CBP will assess duties on entries as instructed by Commerce.
Which float glass products are covered or excluded
The scope covers float glass products that are soda-lime-silica glass manufactured by floating molten glass and having an actual thickness of at least 2.0 mm (0.0787 inches) and an actual surface area of at least 0.37 square meters (4.0 square feet). The scope also lists many exclusions (for example: wired glass, patterned flat glass meeting ASTM-C1036 Type II, vehicle safety glazing certified to ANSI Z26.1, vacuum insulating glass units, certain framed mirrors without LEDs, and specified solar glass types).
