Coated Paper Trade Cases

In response to petitioners’ claims and the ITA’s preliminary CVD determination, Chinese and Indonesian paper producers point to U.S. paper companies’ use of “black liquor” bio-fuels tax credits as a form of U.S. government subsidy of their own.

Following its March CVD determination, in April the ITA announced its preliminary determination that certain coated paper from China and Indonesia had been dumped—sold at less than fair value—in the U.S. market, with additional duties assessed against paper exporters from those countries.
