CBP uncovers attempt to evade antidumping duty
U.S. Customs officers at the Port of Los Angeles-Long Beach recently seized 21.1 million plastic grocery bags made in China for violating antidumping and countervailing duty regulations on goods sold below market price or at a subsidized price.
The plastic bags were concealed in a shipment that contained non-problematic clear plastic produce bags, Customs and Border Protection said. Retail carrier bags coming from China composed of greater than 50 percent polyethylene are subject to antidumping duty, which can range from zero to 77.57 percent. The shipment was subject to the highest rate.
