Urgent: U.S. Imposes 891.62% Anti-Dumping Duties on Chinese Float Glass & Erythritol

Breaking: U.S. Commerce Department’s New Anti-Dumping Ruling


 

The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced staggering new anti-dumping duties on two key Chinese exports:

  1. Float Glass (Used in construction, automotive, and solar panels): Up to 891.62% for select manufacturers.
  2. Erythritol (Popular sugar substitute): Rates up to 276.65%.

Affected Companies:

  • Certain Chinese float glass producers face rates as high as 891.62%, while others range from 45.37% to 221.37%.
  • Erythritol exporters now subject to 164.70–276.65% tariffs.

What This Means for Your Shipments:

✅ Immediate Impact:

  • Costs for U.S. importers of these goods could quadruple overnight.
  • Customs delays expected as filings require new duty codes.

✅ Long-Term Strategies:

  1. Alternative Sourcing: Shift production to Vietnam, Malaysia, or Mexico (preferential tariff zones).
  2. Transshipment Solutions: Route goods via third countries to reduce duty exposure (legally compliant options).
  3. Duty Mitigation: Apply for exemptions if eligible (e.g., medical-grade erythritol).
