This ruling applies to sales from April 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023, and imposes high antidumping duties on these imports if the U.S. International Trade Commission also finds that these imports harm the U.S. industry.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to terminate the investigation into allegations that glass wine bottles imported from Chile were being sold at unfairly low prices in the United States. This decision comes after the U.S. Glass Producers Coalition withdrew its petition for antidumping duties.

Consequently, U.S. Customs will stop suspending shipments of these bottles and will refund any deposits collected from importers due to the investigation.

The results and this notice were published on February 25, 2021, with further details available in public documents.
