SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determination by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC), Commerce is issuing the antidumping duty (AD) order
on float glass products from the People's Republic of China (China).
DATES: Applicable April 6, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 9, 2026, Commerce published its affirmative final
determination in the investigation of sales at less than fair value
(LTFV) of float glass products from China in accordance with sections
735(d) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Float Glass Products from the People's Republic of
China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value, 91 FR 5713 (February 9, 2026).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 26, 2026, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified Commerce of its final affirmative determination that an
industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of dumped imports of
float glass products from China.\2\ On March 31, 2026, the ITC
published its final determination in the Federal Register.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See ITC's Letter, ``ITC Notification,'' dated March 26,
2026. The ITC also determined that imports of float glass products
from Malaysia found by Commerce to be sold in the United States at
LTFV are negligible and terminated the antidumping duty
investigation concerning Malaysia. Id.
\3\ See Float Glass Products from China and Malaysia;
Determinations, 91 FR 16014 (March 31, 2026) (ITC Final
Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are float glass products from
China. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the
appendix to this notice.
AD Order
Based on the above-referenced affirmative final determination by
the ITC, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act,
Commerce is issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that an
industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of
imports of float glass products from China, unliquidated entries of
such merchandise from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise on all
relevant entries of float glass products from China. Antidumping duties
will be assessed on unliquidated entries of float glass products from
China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
July 15, 2025, the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determination,\4\ but will not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of
the ITC's final injury determination, as further described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Float Glass Products from the People's Republic of
China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination, and Extension of
Provisional Measures, 90 FR 31602 (July 15, 2025) (Preliminary
Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation and continue
the suspension of liquidation, as applicable, on all relevant entries
of float glass products from China, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the
Federal Register.
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in
the tables below, adjusted by the relevant subsidy offsets.
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated customs duties on subject merchandise, a
cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the tables below. The rate
for the China-wide entity applies to all producers or exporters not
specifically listed, as appropriate.
Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins
The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion
of float glass products from China, Commerce extended the four-month
period to six months.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the underlying investigation, Commerce published the Preliminary
Determination on July 15, 2025. The six-month period beginning on the
date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on
January 10, 2026. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the
Act and its practice, Commerce instructed CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of float glass products from
China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
January 11, 2026, the first day provisional measures were no longer in
effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of
the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register.\7\
Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will
resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in
the Federal Register.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See CBP Message 6014409, ``Discontinuation of suspension of
liquidation in the antidumping duty investigation of float glass
products from the People's Republic of China (A-570-188),'' dated
January 14, 2026.
\8\ See ITC Final Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists
On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the
Federal Register.\9\ On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the
Procedural Guidance in the Federal Register.\10\ The Final Rule and
Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual
inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any
interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for
circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request
on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as
well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same
country of origin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September 20,
2021) (Final Rule).
\10\ See Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List;
and Informational Sessions, 86 FR 53205 (September 27, 2021)
(Procedural Guidance).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in
the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an
annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and
document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>, within five business days of publication of the
notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in
ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type
called ``AISL--Annual Inquiry Service List.'' \11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ This segment will be combined with the ACCESS Segment
Specific Information (SSI) field which will display the month in
which the notice of the order or suspended investigation was
published in the Federal Register, also known as the anniversary
month. For example, for an order under case number A-000-000 that
was published in the Federal Register in January, the relevant
segment and SSI combination will appear in ACCESS as ``AISL--January
Anniversary.'' Note that there will be only one annual inquiry
service list segment per case number, and the anniversary month will
be pre-populated in ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 17252]]
Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry
service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the
annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30
days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of
administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one
attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead
attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce
will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days
thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance,\12\ the new annual
inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when
the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is
published.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Procedural Guidance, 86 FR at 53206.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as
needed based on interested parties' amendments to their entries of
appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and
representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or
announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the
ACCESS website at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>.
Special Instructions for the Petitioner and Foreign Governments
In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ``after an initial request
and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and
foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry
service list in the years that follow.'' \13\ Accordingly, as stated
above, the petitioner and foreign governments should submit their
initial entries of appearance after publication of this notice in order
to appear in the first annual inquiry service lists for this order.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and foreign
governments will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each
year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list.
However, the petitioner and foreign governments are responsible for
making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual
update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the
procedures described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Final Rule, 86 FR at 52335.

Appendix
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers float glass products, which are
articles of soda-lime-silica glass that are manufactured by floating
a continuous strip of molten glass over a smooth bath of tin (or
another liquid metal with a density greater than molten glass),
cooling the glass in an annealing lehr, and cutting it to
appropriate dimensions. For purposes of the order, float glass
products have an actual thickness of at least 2.0 mm (0.0787 inches)
and an actual surface area of at least 0.37 square meters (4.0
square feet).
The country of origin of each float glass product is determined
by the location where the soda-lime-silica glass is first
manufactured by floating a continuous strip of molten glass over a
smooth bath of tin and cooling the glass in an annealing lehr,
regardless of the location of any downstream finishing or
fabrication operations.
Prior to being subjected to further treatment, finishing, or
fabrication, float glass products meet the requirements of Type I
under ASTM-C1036 of the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM).
Float glass products may be clear, stained, tinted, or coated
with one or more materials. Examples of coated float glass products
include Low-E architectural glass (i.e., glass with a low emissivity
coating to limit the penetration of radiant heat energy) and
frameless mirrors (i.e., flat glass with a silver, aluminum, or
other reflective layer) such as mirror stock sheet.
Float glass products may be annealed, chemically strengthened,
heat strengthened, or tempered to achieve a desired surface
compression, pursuant to ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, or other
similar specifications.
Float glass products include tub and shower enclosures (i.e.,
doors and panels) made of tempered glass, which may be sold with
attached or unattached hardware. In such cases, the scope covers
only the tempered glass, to the exclusion of any non-glass hardware.
The only float glass product assemblies included within the
scope are: (1) articles consisting of two of more sheets of float
glass that are bonded together using a polymer interlayer (i.e.,
laminated glass); (2) insulating glass units (IGUs), which consist
of two or more sheets of float glass separated by a spacer material
and hermetically sealed together at the edge in order to create a
thermal barrier using air or one or more gases but excluding any
non-float glass components (other than the spacer and insulating
materials) that may be mounted within the space between sheets of
float glass (e.g., blinds, wrought iron cores, and camed patterned
glass), as such non-float glass components are deemed outside the
scope and not subject to duties; and (3) LED mirrors (i.e., float
glass mirrors with one or more light-emitting diodes attached to or
integrated with the mirror, as well as framed float glass mirrors
with one or more light-emitting diodes attached to or integrated
with the mirror or the mirror frame, but without other electronic
functionality such as digital or video displays or audio circuitry).
Float glass products covered by the scope may meet one or more
of the ASTM-C162, ASTM-C1036, ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1172, ASTM-C1349,
ASTM-C1376, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, ASTM-C1464, ASTM-C1503, ASTM-C1651,
ASTM-E1300, and ASTM-E2190 specifications, definitions, and/or
standards.
Float glass products may be further worked, including, but not
limited to, operations such as: cutting; beveling; edging; notching;
drilling; etching; bending; curving; chipping; embossing; engraving;
surface grinding; or polishing; and sandblasting (i.e., using high
velocity air to stream abrasive particles and thereby impart a
frosted aesthetic to the glass surface). A float glass product which
undergoes further work remains within the scope so long as the soda-
lime-silica glass originally satisfied the requirements of ASTM-
C1036 Type I and was first manufactured in a subject country,
regardless of where it is further worked.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) wired glass (i.e., glass with a
layer of wire mesh embedded within); (2) patterned flat glass (i.e.,
rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides) meeting
the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036, including greenhouse
glass and patterned solar glass (i.e., photovoltaic glass with a
textured surface); (3) safety glazing materials for vehicles
certified to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard
Z26.1; (4) vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units, which consist of two
or more sheets of float glass separated by a spacer material, with
at least one hermetically sealed compartment that uses a gas-free
vacuum as a thermal barrier; (5) framed mirrors without any LEDs
integrated with the mirror or the mirror frame; (6) unframed ``over-
the-door'' mirrors that are ready for use as imported without
undergoing after importation any processing, finishing, or
fabrication; and (7) heat-strengthened washing machine lid glass
with an actual surface area less than 6.0 square feet (0.56 square
meters).
Also excluded from the scope of the order are: (1) soda-lime-
silica glass containing less than 0.01 percent iron oxide by weight,
annealed with a surface compression less
[[Page 17253]]
than 3,500 pounds per square inch (PSI), having a transparent
conductive oxide base coating (e.g., tin oxide), and with an actual
thickness less than or equal to 4.0 mm (0.1575 inches) (i.e.,
``coated solar glass''); and (2) heat treated soda-lime-silica glass
with a surface compression between 3,500 and 10,000 PSI, containing
two or more drilled holes, and having an actual thickness less than
2.5 mm (0.0984 inches) (i.e., ``clear back solar glass''). Solar
glass products (also known as photovoltaic glass) are designed to
facilitate the conversion of solar energy into electricity.
Also excluded are metal-camed glass products (i.e., panels of
glass joined together with metal banding) where the constituent
glass panels would otherwise be excluded by reason of their size
(e.g., an actual surface area less than 0.37 square meters, or 4.0
square feet) and/or by reason of consisting of patterned flat glass
(i.e., rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides)
meeting the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036.
Also excluded from the scope of the order are any products
already covered by the scope of any extant antidumping and/or
countervailing duty orders, including Aluminum Extrusions from the
People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 30650 (May
26, 2011), and Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of
China: Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011).
The products subject to the order are currently classifiable
under subheadings 7005.10.8000, 7005.21.1010, 7005.21.1030,
7005.21.2000, 7005.29.1810, 7005.29.1850, 7005.29.2500,
7007.29.0000, 7008.00.0000, 7009.91.5010, 7009.91.5095, and
7009.92.5010 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Products subject to the order may also enter under HTSUS
subheadings 7006.00.4010, 7006.00.4050, 7007.19.0000, 7013.99.2000,
