US Commerce sets preliminary 28.52% anti-dumping rate on Vietnamese paper bag exporter

The US Department of Commerce has set a preliminary antidumping margin of 28.52% for Vietnamese paper shopping bag exporter International Packaging Limited Company (IPSC), in a notice published on 14 October 2026. Four other Vietnamese exporters withdrew from the annual review and will be assessed at the cash deposit rates in force when their goods entered, while the Vietnam-wide rate stays at 92.34%. The IPSC rate takes effect only once Commerce publishes final results.

Why this mattersIf confirmed, IPSC's 28.52% would undercut the 36.51% set for Goldsun and Vietnam Red Star in 2024 and the 92.34% Vietnam-wide rate on US-bound bags.

  • Preliminary weighted-average dumping margin of 28.52% for IPSC, signed on 7 October and published on 14 October 2026
  • Review dropped for Blue Sea Pack, Goldsun Packaging and Printing and two Vietnam Red Star Industry entities after they withdrew their requests
  • Goldsun and Vietnam Red Star each received 36.51% in the 2024 order
  • Vietnam-wide rate unchanged at 92.34%
  • Review covers entries from 3 January 2024 to 30 June 2025 under order A-552-836
  • The 2024 orders cover paper shopping bags from eight countries, including China, India, Portugal and Taiwan

  • 2026-10-15 · Edited before publication: The source gives 36.51% only for Goldsun and Vietnam Red Star, not for all four withdrawn exporters. The case-brief and hearing deadlines are not in the source text. Lowered materiality: this is a preliminary rate for a single exporter.
