India's PET Film Hit with Dumping Duties Again
Published Date: 1/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Cosmo First Limited sold PET film from India at unfairly low prices between July 2023 and June 2024. They’re stopping the review for eight other companies for now. This means some import duties might change soon, affecting businesses and prices starting January 9, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
24.14% Preliminary Dumping Margin
Commerce preliminarily found that Cosmo First Limited sold polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film at less than fair value for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and assigned a preliminary weighted-average dumping margin of 24.14 percent. If the final results continue this finding, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties at 24.14% on Cosmo entries, with assessment instructions issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results.
Importer Certificate and Double‑Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping or countervailing duties before liquidation of relevant entries, per 19 CFR 351.402(f). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Review Rescinded For Eight Firms
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for eight Indian PET film producers: Chiripal Poly Films Limited; Ester Industries Limited; Garware Hi‑Tech Films Limited; Jindal Poly Films Ltd.; JPFL Films Private Ltd.; Polyplex Corporation Limited; SRF Limited; and Vacmet India Limited. For those companies, CBP will assess antidumping duties on entries at the cash deposit rate that was required at the time of entry during the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
All‑Others Cash Deposit Rate Stays 5.71%
Commerce stated that for exporters and manufacturers not subject to a company‑specific rate, the 'all‑others' cash deposit rate established in the underlying investigation will continue to be 5.71 percent. Cash deposit requirements described will apply to shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review.
