Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Toray Advanced Materials Korea sold low melt polyester staple fiber to the U.S. at unfairly low prices from August 2023 to July 2024. This means antidumping duties might increase to protect U.S. businesses. The review results came out on February 10, 2026, and interested parties can still share their thoughts before final decisions.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
16.27% Assessment for Unknown U.S. Shipments
For entries produced by Toray Advanced Materials Korea where the producer did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct Customs and Border Protection to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate of 16.27% if there is no rate for the intermediate company. This automatic-assessment practice applies as described in the notice.
Preliminary 3.02% Dumping Margin
If you import low melt polyester staple fiber from Toray Advanced Materials Korea, Commerce preliminarily found a weighted-average dumping margin of 3.02% for sales made from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. These preliminary results were published on February 10, 2026 and could lead to antidumping duties in the final results.
Final Cash Deposit Rate Rules
When Commerce publishes the final results, the cash deposit rate for the company will equal the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results, unless that rate is less than 0.50% (de minimis), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero. These cash deposit requirements become effective upon publication of the final results.
