Last month, the DOC decided to increase the final CVD on Chinese glass container imports from 25.46% to 320.53% for Chinese manufacturers.

The petition was originally filed by American Glass Packaging Coalition on 2 September last year.

This filing prompted the DOC to issue antidumping and CVDs on imported Chinese glass because of an investigation.

However, ITC’s ruling has invalidated those duties.
