Laminated woven sacks (LWS) from China are covered by two U.S. Department of Commerce orders: an antidumping (AD) order under case A-570-916 and a countervailing duty (CVD) order under case C-570-917. Importers of woven polypropylene or similar plastic sacks with an outer laminated printed layer should review whether their goods may fall within scope.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•May include bags or sacks made from woven polypropylene or polyethylene strip
•May include woven plastic sacks with an outer laminated film or ply
•May include printed laminated woven sacks used for retail or bulk packaging
•May include laminated woven sacks for pet food, seed, or agricultural products
•May include sacks with a valve, closure, or open-mouth construction that are laminated
•May include laminated woven sacks whether or not they contain a liner

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Woven sacks that are not laminated may fall outside the order (verify)
?Bags made entirely of paper or unlined kraft without woven plastic may be outside scope
?Non-woven plastic film bags may fall outside these orders
?Bulk flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) may be treated separately (verify)
?Sacks of materials or constructions not described in the written scope

Scope control: Any HTS codes are screening references only; the written scope language issued by Commerce controls whether a product is covered, and unfinished, unassembled, or component items may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of woven polypropylene or polyethylene bags with a laminated outer layer sourced from China, including packaging distributors and companies importing retail or bulk sacks.

What the duty means

Because both an AD and a CVD order exist, importers may owe cash deposits under both A-570-916 and C-570-917 at entry. Rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high; a 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption—the order still applies and entries must be declared.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm it matches the product's actual construction
☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing the woven substrate and any laminated layer
☐Document the material composition (e.g., woven polypropylene with laminated film)
☐Identify the intended use and packaging format of the sacks
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records
☐Record the manufacturer, producer, and exporter names, and confirm the exact producer/exporter combination
☐Determine the tentative HTS classification for screening only
☐Consult a licensed customs broker or trade attorney to confirm scope—do not rely only on supplier statements
☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce review results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through a third country such as Vietnam
⚠Scope inquiries where the product's construction is ambiguous
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and using an incorrect deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration penalties and retroactive duty liability if entries are misclassified

The same product may be subject to orders in more than one country—laminated woven sacks are also produced in Vietnam—so importers should review the AD/CVD status of each origin independently.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on laminated woven sacks from China?

There is an antidumping order under case A-570-916 and also a countervailing duty order under case C-570-917 covering laminated woven sacks from China; whether your specific goods are covered depends on Commerce's written scope, which you should confirm.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption—the orders (A-570-916 and C-570-917) still apply, entries must be declared, and the final duty is set through administrative review and can differ from the deposit rate.

Are parts or unassembled laminated woven sacks covered?

They may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope; unfinished, unassembled, or component forms can fall within an order, so importers should verify with a licensed broker rather than assume exclusion.

Needs review

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are laminated woven sacks of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for non-laminated sacks, different materials, parts, unassembled goods, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Laminated woven sacks from China may be covered by A-570-916 (AD) and C-570-917 (CVD); confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.

Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
