U.S. Ends Review of Anti-Dumping Order on PET Sheet from South Korea
Estimated reading time: 1–3 minutes
On January 12, 2026, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) officially ended a five-year review on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) sheet from South Korea.
The review began on August 1, 2025. The purpose was to see if ending the anti-dumping duty order on PET sheets from South Korea would lead to harm to U.S. industries.
However, the review process faced delays.
On November 14, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce extended all deadlines. This was due to a government shutdown and a lack of funding. The extension lasted 47 days.
On November 24, 2025, Commerce added another 21-day extension. This was caused by a backlog of documents in the online system named ACCESS.
On January 12, 2026, Commerce published an official notice. It stated that the anti-dumping duty order on PET sheet from South Korea was revoked. The revocation date was also January 12, 2026.
The reason given was that no U.S. domestic party filed a notice saying they wanted to keep participating in the review process.
As a result, the USITC ended the review. There will be no further investigation.
