ITC: No duties for paper imports from Asia
The U.S. International Trade Commission determined Tuesday that U.S. industry is not harmed economically by imports of coated free sheet paper from China, Indonesia, and South Korea, although the Commerce Department earlier determined that these imports are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.
The petition for antidumping and countervailing duties was filed by NewsPage Corp. of Dayton, Ohio, on Oct. 31, 2006. The ITC noted that the number of U.S. firms involved in the manufacture of coated free sheet paper in 2006 was 10, mostly concentrated in Wisconsin, Michigan, Maryland, Maine, Kentucky, and Minnesota.
As a result of the ITC's decision, no duties will be imposed on imports of this product from these countries.
