Commerce Reviews India's Fine-Denier Polyester Fiber Trade Case
Published Date: 10/19/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Bombay Dyeing sold fine denier polyester staple fiber from India at unfairly low prices between July 2024 and June 2025. Meanwhile, the review for Reliance Industries Limited was canceled. These decisions, effective October 19, 2026, could affect import duties and trade fairness for these companies.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Bombay Dyeing preliminarily assigned 21.43% duty
Commerce preliminarily found that The Bombay Dyeing And Manufacturing Company Limited sold fine denier polyester staple fiber at below normal value for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 and preliminarily assigned a weighted-average dumping margin of 21.43 percent. Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on Bombay Dyeing entries at the weighted-average dumping margin determined in the final results; this notice is applicable October 19, 2026.
Cash-deposit rules and 14.67% all-others rate continue
Commerce explained the cash deposit requirements that will apply for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results. Among these rules: (1) Bombay Dyeing's cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the final results (and if based on total adverse facts available, that rate will be offset by the lowest export-subsidy rate from the companion countervailing duty proceeding), and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will remain 14.67 percent.
Importers must certify duty reimbursement or risk double duties
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate about whether antidumping and/or countervailing duties were reimbursed before liquidation of the relevant entries, per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers do not comply, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Reliance review rescinded; duties assessed at cash-deposit rate
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) for entries during July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 after RIL withdrew its review request. Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on RIL entries during the period of review at rates equal to the cash deposit rate for estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry; this action is applicable October 19, 2026.
