In another example of the Trump administration’s aggressive enforcement of U.S. trade law, the Department of Commerce is poised to begin collecting countervailing and anti-dumping duties on polyester-textured yarn imported from China and India.

The move comes after two major U.S.-based synthetic yarn producers alleged in petitions that China and India were harming the domestic industry by dumping cheap, subsidised imports of yarn on the U.S. market. In 2017, those imports from China and India totalled $35 million and $19.6 million, respectively, according to the Commerce Department.
