Anti-Dumping Duty on PET Resin Extended Pending Review

The Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, through Notification No. 39/2025–Customs (ADD) dated 26 December 2025, has extended the validity of the existing anti-dumping duty on imports of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) resin with intrinsic viscosity of 0.72 dl/g or higher, classified under tariff items 3907 61 90 and 3907 69 90, originating in or exported from China PR. This extension follows a sunset review initiated by the designated authority under section 9A(5) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, read with the Anti-Dumping Rules, 1995, to examine the need for continued protection against dumping and injury to the domestic industry. Acting on the authority’s request, the Central Government amended the original anti-dumping notification issued in March 2021 to clarify that, notwithstanding earlier timelines, the duty will remain in force up to and including 26 June 2026, unless revoked, amended, or superseded earlier. The notification ensures continuity of trade remedial measures pending completion of the review process.
