The US International Trade Commission has ruled in favor of US producers of polyester fiber on dumping charges against Chinese exporters.

The ITC determined there were reasonable indications that US industries were materially injured or threatened by Chinese imports sold in America at less than fair value.

The US producers had complained that Chinese polyester fiber imports surged 161 percent by weight between 2003 and 2005. Chinese shipments accounted for 39 percent of all imports in the latest 12-month period, according to the US Department of Commerce.
