Yarn from China, India stays taxed—U.S. makers protected
Published Date: 4/7/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on polyester textured yarn from China and India because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This affects companies importing these yarns and helps protect U.S. manufacturers from unfair competition. These rules stay in place starting April 7, 2025, keeping the playing field fair and prices steady.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Specified Countervailable Subsidy Rates for Named Firms
Commerce determined the net countervailable subsidy rates that would likely prevail if the China Order were revoked: Fujian Billion Polymerization Fiber Technology Industrial Co., Ltd. 32.18%; Suzhou Shenghong Fiber Co., Ltd. 473.09%; Suzhou Shengong Garmant Development Co. 472.51%; All Others 32.18%. For the India Order, Commerce determined: JBF Industries Limited 21.83%; Reliance Industries Limited 4.29%; All Others 4.65%.
Countervailing Duty Orders Remain In Force
The Department of Commerce determined that revoking the countervailing duty orders on polyester textured yarn from the People’s Republic of China and India would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies, and the Orders therefore remain in effect as of April 7, 2025.
