Oman PET Resin: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department on Dec. 8 issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on polyethylene terephthalate resin from Oman (A-523-810). Commerce calculated an AD rate of 3.96% for OCTAL SAOC-FZC, S.A., the only company under review. Commerce will assess AD at importer-specific rates for subject merchandise from OCTAL entered May 1, 2020, through April 30, 2021, it said. The new 3.96% AD cash deposit rate for OCTAL takes effect Dec. 9, the date that these final results are scheduled for publication in the Federal Register.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except OCTAL), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 7.62% applies.

(The review period is 05/01/20 - 04/30/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2206070001 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
