The department said, the DOC has issued its final conclusion in the caseof the final review of applying anti-dumping duties on PE bags imported from Vietnam,Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Taiwan (China) and Thailand.
Inthis conclusion, the DOC held that the removal of anti-dumping duties willlead to the possibility of continued or repeated product dumping.
Therefore, it proposed to extend the application of the anti-dumping duty rate for PE bags imported from Vietnam at 76.11 percent.
