The United States has finalized its anti-dumping duty order on woven bags from Vietnam.

This product was subject to anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations by the United States in 2018 and imposed duties from 2019.

The Department of Trade Remedies ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) has just informed that on May 1, 2024, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the initiation of the first final review of the anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CTC) orders on woven bags (Laminated Woven Sacks) imported from Vietnam.

The products under investigation are woven bags, with HS codes 6305.33.0040, 3917.39.0050, 3921.90.1100, 3921.90.1500, 3923.21.0080, 3923.21.0095, 3923.29.0000, 4601.99.0500, 4601.99.9000, 4602.90.0000, and 5903.90.2500.

This product was investigated by the US for anti-dumping and countervailing duties in 2018 and imposed duties from 2019 (tax rates from 109.46% - 292.61% for anti-dumping investigations and tax rates from 3.02% - 198.87% for countervailing duties).

The above final review is conducted every five years. If the review results show that the suspension of anti-dumping and countervailing duties is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and subsidization that causes material injury to the U.S. industry, the duties will be applied for an additional five years.

According to the Department of Trade Remedies, DOC will generally determine that the lifting of the order is likely to result in continuation or recurrence of dumping when: the margin of dumping remains above the de minimis level after the order is issued; imports of the subject merchandise cease after the order is issued or there is no longer dumping after the order is issued; and imports of the subject merchandise have significantly decreased.

Conversely, DOC will determine whether to lift the order if there is no longer dumping activity after the order is issued and import volumes remain stable or even increase.

For CTC, DOC will consider the subsidy margin in the initial investigation and subsequent reviews; whether there have been changes to the programs that affect the subsidy margin.

Generally, if the program remains in place, not eliminated or replaced, it is evidence that lifting the tariff is likely to re-instate the subsidy.

Under U.S. regulations, parties wishing to register as interested parties must file notices within 10 days of the date of publication of the Notice of Initiation.

To ensure their legitimate interests, the Trade Defense Department recommends that related manufacturing and exporting enterprises learn about the regulations and procedures for final review of the United States; properly and fully implement the requirements of the US investigation agency, and closely coordinate with the Trade Defense Department throughout the process of the case.
