SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 12, 2024, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review in the 

Federal Register and invited comments 

from interested parties.1 On December 

2, 2024, we extended the deadline for 

the final results of this review to no later 

than January 15, 2025.2 Additionally, on 

December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the 

deadline to issue the final results in this 

administrative review by 90 days.3

Accordingly, the deadline for the final 

results is now April 15, 2025. 

For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.4 Commerce 

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 5

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is PET film from India. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case brief 

submitted by interested parties in this 

review are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. The topics 

discussed and the issues raised by 

parties to which we responded in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum are 

listed in the appendix to this notice. 

The Issues and Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of comments 

received from interested parties, we 

made changes to the net countervailable 

subsidy rates for Jindal Poly Films 

Limited (Jindal). For a discussion of 

these changes, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For 

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be countervailable, we find that there is 

a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.6 In making this final 

determination, Commerce relied, in 

part, on facts otherwise available, 

including with an adverse inference, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act. For a complete description of 

the methodology underlying all of 

Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates exist for the period January 1, 

2022, through December 31, 2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Jindal Poly Films Limited ...... * 122.75 

Garware Hi-Tech Films Limited .................................... 4.96 

* Rate is based on facts available with adverse inferences. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with these 

final results within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of final results in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, we did not make any changes 

from the preliminary subsidy rates 

calculated for Garware Hi-Tech Films 

Limited (Garware); therefore, we will 

not disclose any calculation documents 

for Garware for these final results of 

review. 

Assessment 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after publication of the final results
