The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of granular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin from India and Russia that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of India and Russia.
Chair Jason E. Kearns, Vice Chair Randolph J. Stayin, and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from India and Russia.
The Commission made a negative finding concerning critical circumstances with regard to imports of this product from India that are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of India. As a result, these imports will not be subject to retroactive antidumping and countervailing duties.
The Commission’s public report Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Resin from India and Russia (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-663-664 and 731-TA-1555-1556 (Final), USITC Publication 5285, March 2022) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
