U.S. ends dumping cases

WASHINGTON: The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has terminated subsidy and anti-dumping investigations on U.S. imports of polyethylene terphthalate (PET) resin from India, Indonesia and Thailand.

In a negative preliminary ruling, the commission said it had found no reasonable indication that those imports hurt domestic industries. PET resin is used to manufacture transparent, lightweight and shatterproof bottles.
