APP Americas Previews Testimony for Hearing on the Coated Paper Trade Case

- Domestic industry claims that these closures are good for the industry. Domestic producers claim they can produce as much or more coated paper at existing facilities and production capacity actually increased during the investigation period.

• Domestic prices remained low in the first half of 2010 because of the above cited economic and intra-industry domestic producer competition, even though coated paper sheets imported from China and Indonesia left the market because of preliminary duties imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
