Coated Paper Trade Cases

In the coated paper cases at hand, the ITA issued its preliminary CVD determination against coated paper imports from China and Indonesia in March 2010, and imposed immediate tariffs averaging 8.38 %, which will be held pending a final resolution of the case. According to petitioner NewPage, the ITA found that Chinese producers were benefiting from preferential lending, income tax programs, tax credits for equipment purchases and research and development, import duty and VAT exemptions on capital equipment and preferential provision of electric. Indonesian producers were found to have received timber for less than adequate remuneration, and government debt forgiveness.
