Paper Tariffs — Will Commerce Be Swayed?

More CFS Price Increases

While Korea will help fill the void left by the reduced volume, Maine cautions that a second price increase in 2007 for CFS was imminent, which will boost prices by about 5 percent—this in addition to the $20 transaction fee instituted with the February price increase. The potential also exists that an anti-dumping duty (ADD), slated to be announced at the end of last month, had the potential to impact the Korean suppliers more so than the CVDs.
