Steel hangers finished in Cambodia from Chinese or Vietnamese wire now owe antidumping deposits, back to entries since August 12, 2025

Commerce preliminarily finds that steel wire garment hangers completed in Cambodia from Chinese or Vietnamese wire circumvent the antidumping order on hangers from China and the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hangers from Vietnam. CBP will be directed to suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits on unliquidated entries made on or after August 12, 2025, at the existing China rate for Chinese-wire hangers and the Vietnam-wide rates (220.68 percent antidumping, 31.58 percent countervailing) otherwise.

Matched to source. Otherwise the Vietnam-wide rates apply.

Who does this affect?: Apparel brands, dry-cleaning suppliers, and any seller importing steel wire hangers from Cambodia; the deposits reach back more than a year to entries that have not yet liquidated.
What it costs: Cash deposits on unliquidated Cambodian hanger entries made on or after August 12, 2025, at the Vietnam-wide antidumping rate of 220.68 percent and countervailing rate of 31.58 percent unless the exporter and importer certify Chinese-origin wire, which draws the China antidumping rate instead.
What to check: If you have imported steel wire hangers from Cambodia since August 12, 2025, ask your broker which entries are still unliquidated and what deposit CBP will now require on each, and ask your supplier whether it has filed the origin certification that determines which rate applies.
