US Slaps Duties on Chinese Float Glass, Clears Malaysian Imports
Published Date: 3/31/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. found that imports of float glass from China hurt American glass makers because they’re sold at unfairly low prices or get government help. While imports from Malaysia were also looked at, the U.S. decided those imports are too small to worry about and stopped that part of the investigation. This means some import rules and duties on Chinese glass will stay in place to protect U.S. businesses.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Duties Continue on Chinese Float Glass
The U.S. International Trade Commission determined on March 26, 2026 that imports of float glass products from China were sold in the United States at less than fair value and were subsidized, and that U.S. industry is materially injured. As a result, import measures and duties on Chinese float glass will remain in place to protect U.S. glassmakers.
Malaysia Antidumping Probe Terminated
The Commission found that imports of float glass products from Malaysia that Commerce determined were sold at less than fair value are negligible. On March 23, 2026 the Commission changed its antidumping determination for Malaysia to negative based on negligibility and terminated the antidumping duty investigation concerning Malaysia.
