Trade Victories in India, Thailand, and Indonesia Cases

The ITC rejected the US PET resin industry’s attempts to secure high antidumping and countervailing duties against Indian PET resin producers.  By a vote of 5 to 1, the ITC determined that US imports of PET resin from India did not injure or threaten future injury to the US PET resin industry.  Antidumping and countervailing duties, which were temporarily imposed by the US Department of Commerce pending this final determination, were lifted by the US Customs Service. 

Steptoe acted as counsel to Reliance Industries Ltd. and presented the defense at the ITC on behalf of all respondent countries

Reliance Industries Ltd. is the largest Indian producer of PET resin.
