Cambodia-Based Sugarcane Bagasse Tableware Factory Launches to Bypass U.S. & Canada Anti-Dumping Tariffs

08-04-2026

Leading sustainable packaging manufacturer Hebei Mountain Environmental Protection Technology Co.,Ltd.  officially announces the opening of its state-of-the-art sugarcane bagasse tableware production facility in Cambodia, strategically designed to serve the U.S. and Canadian markets free from punitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties currently imposed on Chinese and Vietnamese imports. This move provides North American foodservice operators, distributors, and brands with a reliable, cost-effective, and duty-free supply of high-quality biodegradable food packaging.


The Crisis: Crippling Tariffs on Asian Molded Fiber Products

Since 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) have implemented significant trade barriers on imported thermoformed molded fiber tableware (HTS Codes 4823.61, 4823.69, 4823.70), the category encompassing sugarcane bagasse trays, plates, bowls, and clamshells.
  • United States: Exporters from China face anti-dumping margins of 49.88% to 89% and countervailing duties up to 62%.

  • Canada: A full anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation was initiated in October 2025, resulting in provisional duties that have drastically increased costs for importers.

These tariffs have created severe supply chain disruptions, price volatility, and inventory shortages for businesses reliant on affordable eco-friendly disposable packaging.


The Solution: Hebei Mountain Environmental Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. – Cambodia's Duty-Free Production Hub

Hebei Mountain's 100% foreign-owned manufacturing plant in Cambodia is engineered to overcome these trade barriers. By localizing production in Cambodia, we leverage the kingdom's unique geopolitical and economic advantages to deliver unmatched value to our North American partners:

1. Zero Anti-Dumping Duties to USA & Canada

Our Cambodian-made bagasse products are classified as non-subject goods under current U.S. and Canadian trade rulings. This means your imports from us enter the U.S. and Canadian markets duty-free, eliminating the 50% – 200%+ tariff costs associated with sourcing from China.

2. Competitive Cost Structure

  • Low Labor Costs: Access to Cambodia's young, skilled workforce ensures efficient production at globally competitive rates.

  • Favorable Tax Incentives: As a Qualified Investment Project (QIP), our factory benefits from 6-9 years of corporate income tax exemption, duty-free import of machinery, and VAT exemptions on raw materials.

  • Strategic Logistics: Proximity to major shipping lanes ensures reliable, fast ocean freight to Los Angeles, Long Beach, Seattle, and Vancouver.

3. Uncompromised Quality & Compliance

Our production lines utilize advanced thermoforming technology to produce premium sugarcane bagasse tableware that meets and exceeds North American standards:
  • 100% Biodegradable & Compostable: Certified to meet ASTM D6400 (USA) and EN 13432 (global) standards.

  • Food-Grade Safe: PFAS-free, BPA-free, and rigorously tested for food contact safety.

  • High Performance: Waterproof, grease-resistant, microwave-safe, and sturdy enough for hot, cold, and oily foods.

  • Full Customization: Capabilities for custom molded trays, branded printing, and various sizes (single-compartment, multi-compartment) for ready meals, catering, and retail packaging.
