Sourcing Alert: U.S. Imposes Duties Up to 204% on Chinese Float Glass – Is Your Supply Chain Ready?

On February 4, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) announced a significant trade ruling that will reshape the global glass supply chain. The DOC has issued its final affirmative determinations in the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations on float glass products originating from China and Malaysia.

The Impact: Skyrocketing Costs for Importers

For U.S. buyers relying on Chinese suppliers, the cost implications are severe. The new ruling imposes a combined antidumping and countervailing duty rate of up to 204.29% on Chinese exporters. Specifically, the final dumping rates for China range from 151.29% to 184.54%, with subsidy rates adding another 19.75% to 113.34%.

Malaysia was also targeted in this investigation, with AD rates up to 31.55% and CVD rates ranging from 27.32% to 101.99%.

This ruling affects a wide range of products under U.S. HTS headings, including 7009.91 and 7009.92—key categories for glass mirrors. With China previously exporting over $140 million of these products to the U.S. in 2023, many American distributors are now facing urgent supply chain disruptions and unsustainable price hikes.
