    The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that the U.S. industry is not harmed or threatened by imports of glass wine bottles from China and Mexico, which were sold at less than fair value. This decision followed a series of investigations launched in response to petitions by the U.S. Glass Producers Coalition. The investigations revealed that while imports from China received government subsidies, they did not cause material injury to U.S. industries. Consequently, the USITC decided against imposing antidumping duties on these imports.
