India recommends five-year anti-dumping duties on PET film from China, Bangladesh, Thailand

India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) issued an affirmative final anti-dumping determination on 29 September 2026 on PET film imported from China, Bangladesh and Thailand, recommending duties for five years, set at USD 54-361 per tonne for Chinese film. The recommendation covers film of 8-100 microns and excludes solar-panel and thermal-lamination grades.

Why this mattersFive-year duties on a key flexible-packaging substrate raise landed costs for Indian converters sourcing PET film from these three countries and support domestic film producers.
