INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1662-1663 (Final)]


Glass Wine Bottles From China and Mexico

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is not materially injured 
or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of glass wine 
bottles from China and Mexico, provided for in subheading 7010.90.50 of 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been 
found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in 
the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 90 FR 76 and 79 (January 2, 2025).

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective December 
29, 2023, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the U.S. Glass Producers Coalition, which is comprised of 
Ardagh Glass Inc. (Indianapolis, Indiana) and the United Steel, Paper 
and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and 
Service Workers International Union (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). The 
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
glass wine bottles from China were being subsidized by the government 
of China (89 FR 47533, June 3, 2024). Notice of the scheduling of the 
final phase of the Commission's investigations and of a public hearing 
to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the 
notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade 
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal 
Register (89 FR 49901, June 12, 2024, and as revised in 89 FR 63445, 
August 5, 2024). The Commission conducted its hearing on August 14, 
2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
participate.
    Although antidumping duty petitions for Chile, China, and Mexico 
and a countervailing duty petition for China were filed on the same 
day, December 29, 2023, the investigation schedules became staggered 
when Commerce did not align its countervailing duty investigation 
concerning China with its antidumping duty investigations concerning 
Chile, China, and Mexico and reached an earlier final countervailing 
duty determination. On October 9, 2024, the Commission issued a final 
negative determination in its countervailing duty investigation of 
glass wine bottles from China (89 FR 83515, October 16, 2024).
    On December 10, 2024, counsel for the petitioner filed with 
Commerce a request to withdraw its petition regarding imports of glass 
wine bottles from Chile. On December 30, 2024, Commerce published 
notice in the Federal Register of the termination of its subject 
investigation concerning glass wine bottles from Chile (89 FR 106425) 
and the Commission subsequently terminated its antidumping duty 
investigation concerning glass wine bottles from Chile (90 FR 1543, 
January 8, 2025).
    Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that 
imports of glass wine bottles from China and Mexico were being sold at 
LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of 
the Commission's antidumping duty investigations concerning China and 
Mexico was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the 
Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by 
publishing the notice in the Federal Register (90 FR 3251, January 14, 
2025).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec.  735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on February 18, 2025. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5588 (February 
2025), entitled Glass Wine Bottles from China and Mexico: Investigation 
Nos. 731-TA-1662-1663 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: February 18, 2025.
