US rescinds antidumping review for Portuguese paper shopping bags
The U.S. Department of Commerce has rescinded its administrative review of antidumping duties on certain paper shopping bags from Portugal for the January 2024–June 2025 period. This means no new duty rates will be recalculated for that review cycle; the existing antidumping order remains in place. Importers of Portuguese paper bags should verify their current duty obligations and ensure compliance with the standing order.

On June 11, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the rescission of its administrative review of antidumping duties on certain paper shopping bags from Portugal, covering the period January 3, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
What This Affects
Administrative reviews of antidumping orders are routine proceedings in which Commerce recalculates dumping margins and duty rates based on recent pricing and trade data. By rescinding this review, Commerce is declining to issue updated rates for the 2024–2025 period. The underlying antidumping order on Portuguese paper bags remains active and enforceable.
Importers and freight forwarders handling paper shopping bags (typically classified under HS Chapter 48) from Portugal must continue to observe the existing antidumping duty rates already in effect. No new or modified rates have been published as a result of this rescission.
What this means for shippers
Verify your supplier's current antidumping duty liability on Portuguese paper bags—the standing order applies to all entries. Document country of origin carefully, as misclassification or false origin claims trigger penalties. Update your landed-cost estimates using the existing AD rates, not anticipated new ones. /landed-cost
