Indian PTFE Resin Hit with Antidumping Duties After Review
Published Date: 2/24/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that granular PTFE resin from India was sold in the U.S. for less than fair value between March 2023 and February 2024. This means importers might have to pay extra duties to level the playing field. The final decision took longer due to government shutdowns but is now effective as of February 24, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 1 mixed.
Reimbursement Certificate Requirement Before Liquidation
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during the period of review. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and can assess double antidumping duties or increase antidumping duties by the amount of any countervailing duties.
All-Others Rate Remains 10.36%
Commerce confirmed that the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters of granular PTFE resin (the all-others rate) will continue to be 10.36% ad valorem. This 10.36% rate applies for shipments entered, or withdrawn for consumption, on or after publication of these final results (February 24, 2026), until further notice.
Automatic Assessment for Unreviewed GFCL Entries
Commerce will apply its automatic assessment practice for GFCL-produced entries for which GFCL did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States. In those cases, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (10.36%) if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved.
Final 1.83% Dumping Margin for GFCL
The Department of Commerce found that Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFCL) had a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.83% for granular PTFE resin for the period March 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024. This final finding is effective February 24, 2026 and means GFCL-related U.S. entries from that period are subject to that 1.83% antidumping margin.
Cash Deposit Rate Set at 1.83% for GFCL
For shipments of the subject granular PTFE resin entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results (February 24, 2026), the cash deposit rate for GFCL will be equal to the 1.83% weighted-average dumping margin established in this review. These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until changed by Commerce.
Timing of Duty Assessment and Liquidation
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results (publication date February 24, 2026). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, Commerce will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the period for filing a request for a statutory injunction expires, which is within 90 days of publication.
