The U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded its review and determined that polyethylene retail carrier bags from Malaysia were not sold at below normal value in the U.S. from August 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023. Therefore, there will be no antidumping duties assessed on these imports during that period. Importers must ensure their compliance with filing requirements to avoid the potential assessment of double antidumping duties. The agency has also outlined cash deposit requirements effective from the review's publication date.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if plastic shopping bags from Malaysia were sold too cheaply in the U.S. last year and found that they weren't, so there won't be extra taxes on them. But stores must remember to follow all the rules when bringing these bags into the country.
