DOC Rules Against Paper Importers

On the initial complaint, APP remains confident that when Commerce has fully considered all of the facts, the preliminary margins will be reduced or eliminated. The DOC's final ruling on CVD is expected to be released in September along with the final ruling on anti-dumping (AD). The last phase of the cases takes place in October or early November, when the U.S. International Trade Commission will determine if the U.S. paper industry has been harmed. Only an affirmative ruling at that time would lead to the imposition of an AD/CVD duty order on the coated paper in question from China and Indonesia.
