U.S. Paper Firms Accuse Five Countries of Paper Dumping

The antidumping and countervailing duty petitions indicate that imports of these products from the five targeted countries increased 44 percent from 2011 to 2013, and another 40 percent from January-September 2013 to January-September 2014.

The imports increased despite declining U.S. demand. During that time, shipments of certain uncoated paper from domestic manufacturers declined by approximately 8 percent from 2011 to 2013, and another 9 percent from January-September 2013 to January-September 2014.
