The Department of Commerce, through its Enforcement and Compliance division, has started investigations on whether granular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin imports from India and Russia are benefiting from government subsidies, which might harm U.S. producers. The investigations were initiated after petitions filed by Daikin America, Inc. claimed that these imports are negatively affecting the U.S. industry. The investigation aims to determine if these imports are causing material injury to the domestic industry. Granular PTFE resin is under review, and the department has outlined procedures for submitting comments and information related to these investigations.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Commerce is looking into whether special plastic material from India and Russia is getting unfair help from their governments, which might be making it hard for people in the U.S. to sell their own plastic.
