Commerce Tweaks Duties on Indian PTFE Resin Imports
Published Date: 4/2/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed some math mistakes in the review of Granular PTFE resin imports from India for March 2023 to February 2024. This change mainly affects Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited and could adjust the duties they owe. The updated results took effect on April 2, 2026, making sure the trade rules are fair and accurate.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Updated Cash Deposit Rates for Imports
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date, the cash deposit rate for Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited will equal the review's established dumping margin (1.80 percent). The cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters remains 10.36 percent ad valorem, effective on the publication date.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Corrected Dumping Margin for GFCL
Commerce amended the 2023–2024 review and set Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited's weighted-average dumping margin at 1.80 percent for the period March 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, effective April 2, 2026. This margin is the basis for duties assessed on GFCL's subject U.S. sales during that period.
Assessment Procedures and Timing
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties in accordance with the amended results and will issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after this notice's publication. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) expires.
Zero or De Minimis Rates Lead To No Assessment
Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. This applies to entries examined in the review that meet that condition.
Entries Unknownly Destined For U.S. Treated At All‑Others Rate
For entries produced by GFCL during the period of review for which GFCL did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all‑others rate from the original investigation if there is no rate for any intermediate company involved.
