Continuation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on PET Film from India, Taiwan, China, and UAE

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have concluded their five-year (sunset) reviews of the existing antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders covering polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, sheet, and strip imported from India, Taiwan, the People's Republic of China, and the United Arab Emirates. Both agencies determined that revoking these orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and subsidization by foreign producers, as well as material injury to the U.S. domestic PET film industry. As a result of these determinations, Commerce is issuing a formal notice that all AD and CVD orders on PET film from the four named countries will remain in effect. Importers of PET film from India, Taiwan, China, and the UAE will continue to be subject to antidumping and, where applicable, countervailing duties when entering U.S. commerce. PET film is a versatile industrial material widely used in packaging, electrical insulation, imaging, and industrial applications. The continuation of these orders is intended to level the competitive playing field for U.S. domestic manufacturers who would otherwise face unfairly priced or subsidized foreign competition.
