Oman PET Resin Dodges Dump Duty Bullet
Published Date: 8/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that OCTAL SAOC FZC (OCTAL), the mandatory respondent in this administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET resin) from the Sultanate of Oman (Oman), did not sell subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. Interested parties are invited to comment on the preliminary results of this administrative review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f) before liquidation of relevant entries during this review period. If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Preliminary Zero Dumping Margin
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that OCTAL SAOC FZC had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00% for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. Because the margin is preliminarily zero, Commerce says entries tied to OCTAL may be liquidated without antidumping duties if the final results also show zero or de minimis margins.
Cash Deposit Rule for OCTAL
For shipments entered (or withdrawn from warehouse) on or after the date the final results are published, the cash deposit rate for OCTAL will equal the weighted-average dumping margin set in the final results, except if that margin is less than 0.50 percent (de minimis) then the cash deposit rate will be zero. These cash deposit rules take effect on the publication date of the final results of this review.
All-Others Rate Remains 7.62%
Commerce states that the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters not covered by this review will continue to be 7.62 percent, the ‘‘all-others’’ rate established in the investigation. This rate will apply to entries on or after the date the final results are published.
Unreported Sales Liquidated at 7.62%
If OCTAL did not report a sale of subject merchandise that was entered into the United States for consumption during the review period, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate of 7.62 percent if there is no rate for any intermediate company in the transaction.

United States, et al., Consol. Court No. 19-00122 (Slip Op. 26-77) (CIT 2026) sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce's (Commerce) final results of remand redetermination (remand redetermination), concerning the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain softwood lumber products (softwood lumber) from Canada. In particular, the CIT sustained Commerce's remand redetermination calculating a 1.05 percent ad valorem subsidy rate for Les Produits Forestiers D&G Lt[eacute]e (D&G) and its cross-owned company Les Produits Forestiers Portbec Lt[eacute]e (Portbec). Because D&G/Portbec's rate is now above de minimis, subject merchandise produced and exported by D&G/Portbec is included within the CVD order on softwood lumber from Canada.
