INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-612-613 and 731-TA-1429-1430 (Final)]


Polyester Textured Yarn From China and India

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of polyester textured yarn from China and India, 
provided for in subheadings 5402.33.3000 and 5402.33.6000 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the 
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and to be subsidized 
by the governments of China and India.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing and 
antidumping duty orders on polyester textured yarn from China.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective October 
18, 2018, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., Greensboro, North Carolina; and 
Nan Ya Plastics Corp. America, Lake City, South Carolina. The final 
phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
polyester textured yarn from China and India were subsidized within the 
meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at 
LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). 
Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's 
investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection 
therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of 
the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and 
by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on July 29, 2019 (84 
FR 36619). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on November 13, 
2019, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on January 3, 2020. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5007 (January 2020), entitled Polyester 
Textured Yarn from China and India: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-612-613 
and 731-TA-1429-1430 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 3, 2020.

Secretary to the Commission.
