India's DGTR recommends antidumping duties on PET film imports

India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies has recommended antidumping duties on PET film imports from mainland China, Thailand and Bangladesh, citing price undercutting by exporters. The proposed duties range from USD 54 to USD 366 per tonne. The recommendation now goes to India's finance ministry for a final decision on implementation.

Why this mattersHigher import duties would raise costs for Indian converters sourcing PET film and could shift sourcing toward domestic or other-origin suppliers.
