The United States International Profession Commission has actually ruled against the United States polyethylene terephthalate industry in relation to its demand to enforce antidumping tasks on FAMILY PET from Brazil, Indonesia, South Korea, Pakistan as well as Taiwan, the company claimed Thursday.

All other Brazilian manufacturers and merchants faced a 93.60% obligation.
