Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From India: Final Results of the Expedited Fourth Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on PET film, sheet, and strip imported from India because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This affects Indian exporters and U.S. companies like Microworks and Mitsubishi that make similar products here. The decision is effective starting February 10, 2026, keeping the playing field fair and protecting American jobs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Countervailing Duty Order Maintained
The Department of Commerce kept the countervailing duty (CVD) order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, sheet, and strip from India in effect. This decision is applicable February 10, 2026, and Commerce said revoking the order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies, which the notice says helps protect U.S. producers such as Microworks and Mitsubishi and American jobs.
Specified CVD Rates for Indian Exporters
Commerce published the net countervailable subsidy rates that it found likely to prevail: Ester Industries Ltd — 23.21% ad valorem; Garware Polyester Ltd — 29.45% ad valorem; Polyplex Corporation Ltd — 18.57% ad valorem; All Others — 25.25% ad valorem. These percentage rates are the net countervailable subsidy rates reported in the Final Results of the expedited fourth sunset review.
