Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
10.36% Antidumping Duty Applied
If you import granular PTFE resin from India, the Department of Commerce amended the antidumping duty rate to a weighted-average dumping margin of 10.36 percent for Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFCL) and all other producers and exporters. The amendment is applicable March 17, 2025 and covers the investigation period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
Removal of GFCL CEP Offset
Commerce removed the constructed export price (CEP) offset previously granted to Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFCL), and recalculated GFCL's weighted-average dumping margin at 10.36 percent for the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. This change was sustained by the U.S. Court of International Trade and is reflected in the amended final determination.
Revised Cash Deposit Instructions Limited
Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection only with respect to the 10.36 percent rate assigned to all other producers and exporters; GFCL will not receive revised cash deposit instructions because it has a superseding cash deposit rate from a subsequent administrative review. This procedural change follows the amended final determination and is effective March 17, 2025.
