SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 29, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the

film from India.\1\ In the Final Results, Commerce calculated a total
ad valorem subsidy rate of 116.96 percent for Jindal during the POR.\2\

India: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review;
2021, 89 FR 5490 (January 29, 2024) (Final Results).
\2\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the publication of the Final Results, Jindal filed a
lawsuit with the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) challenging
certain aspects of Commerce's Final Results, including: (1) Commerce's
denial of its untimely extension request; (2) use of adverse facts
available (AFA); and (3) selection of the AFA rate. On August 1, 2025,
the CIT remanded Commerce's final results.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Jindal Poly Films Limited v. United States, CIT No. 24-
00053 Slip Op. 25-98 (August 1, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 28, 2026, the United States and Jindal entered into an
agreement to settle this dispute. Pursuant to the terms of settlement,
the parties have agreed to a final assessment as discussed below. The
CIT issued its order of judgement by stipulation on January 29,
2026.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Jindal Poly Films Limited v. United States, CIT No. 24-
00053, ECF No. 59 (January 29, 2026).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Consistent with the settlement agreement and January 29, 2026,
order of judgement by stipulation, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate all entries of PET film from
India produced and exported by Jindal, and entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption in the United States during the POR equal to
10.51 percent during the period January 1, 2021, through May 16, 2021,
and 11.67 percent during the period May 17, 2021, through December 31,
2021.
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce has
determined, and CBP shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these
revised results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because Jindal has a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there
have been final results published in a subsequent administrative
review, we are not revising the cash deposit rate and will not issue
revised cash deposit instructions to CBP.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing this determination and publishing these amended
final results in accordance with section 516(a)(e) of the Act.
Dated: February 5, 2026.
Christopher Abbott,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance.
