Imported Paper Final Ruling Is Near

This current case was brought in September 2009 following a complaint by NewPage, Appleton Coated, Sappi Fine Paper North America and the United Steelworkers (USW).

The anti-dumping margins announced by the DOC on imports from Indonesia were 20.13 percent, and ranged from 7.6 percent to 135.83 percent on imports from China. Countervailing duties on products from Indonesia will be subject to tariffs of 17.94 percent, and on Chinese imports ranging from 17.64 percent to 178.03 percent. If the ITC votes affirmatively in its upcoming injury determination, these rates will apply for the term of the relief. The ITC was slated to vote on Oct. 19, followed by the transmittal of its views to the DOC on Nov. 4.
