The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China and Vietnam.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein and Jason E. Kearns 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 thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations for China and Vietnam due on or about March 17, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determinations for China and Vietnam on January 2, 2025.
The Commission’s public report Thermoformed Molded Fiber Products from China and Vietnam, (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-739-740 and 731-TA-1716-1717 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5568, December 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available by December 30, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library
