The Petitioner alleges that certain glass wine bottles are sold in the United States for less than “normal value” and are unfairly subsidized. AD/CVD duties will be imposed if the US Department of Commerce (DOC) determines that such alleged dumping is occurring and if the US International Trade Commission (ITC) determines that there is “material injury” (or the threat thereof) by reason of the dumped imports.
Importers of these “in-scope” glass wine bottles will be liable for any potential duties imposed. These investigations may also impact purchasers, including your favorite US wine producers, via increased prices for these inputs or decreased supplies of glass wine bottles in the United States.
