US polyester producers win first round against antidumping

18/07/2017
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that imports of fine denier polyester staple fibre from China, India, Korea and Taiwan are harming some US producers.

The decision means US-based Dak, Nan Ya and Auriga can bring antidumping cases against the importers.

Imports of fine denier PSF from the four countries increased by 67% between 2014 and 2016.  The surge was driven by low import prices that undersold the domestic industry, causing US producers to lose sales and profits, they claim.
