US Commerce issues preliminary dumping findings in review of Indian PET film exporters

The US Department of Commerce has preliminarily found that certain Indian producers or exporters of PET film, sheet and strip sold in the US below normal value between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025, in its administrative review of the antidumping order published on 30 June 2025. The review, initiated on 22 August 2025 for eight companies including SRF, Polyplex, Garware Hi-Tech Films and Ester Industries, was rescinded for some of them; the published abstract names neither the companies found to have dumped nor the margins. The results apply from 19 October 2026 and are open to comment before final results.

Why this mattersOnce final, the company-specific margins will set US duty rates for India's main PET film exporters and the landed cost of their film for US converters.

Updates

  • 2026-10-19 · Edited before publication: The headline and summary said Ester Industries was found to have dumped; the source only says 'certain producers and/or exporters' and gives no names or margins. 'First annual review' is not stated. The why-this-matters line assumed an adverse outcome for specific firms. Lowered to 2 for want of margins.
