Paper Outlook — Declaring War on Dumping
The PIA/GATF Print Market Index demonstrates that print markets have gained “considerable strength” between 2000 and 2006, according to PIA/GATF President and CEO Michael Makin.
On the import front, Asian sourcing continues to draw ire and fire from the U.S. manufacturing sector. Dayton, OH-based NewPage filed a petition with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) accusing sources in China, Indonesia and South Korea of dumping coated freesheet imports in the United States. The ITC ruled there is “reasonable indication” that the U.S. paper industry is being materially harmed by the imports, and now the case goes before the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). The ITC and DOC are responsible for conducting antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations.
