he United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of glass wine bottles from Chile, China, and Mexico that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of glass wine bottles from Chile, China, and Mexico, with its preliminary countervailing duty determinations due on or about March 25, 2024, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about June 6, 2024.
The Commission’s public report Glass Wine Bottles from Chile, China, and Mexico (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-703 and 731-TA-1661-1663 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5493, February 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available by March 19, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
