Paper Tariff Could Lead To Price Increase, Job Loss

PIA/GATF believes these duties will cause shortages in the U.S. market for CFS paper and a rise in paper costs, reducing the volume of U.S. print production, resulting in the loss of jobs in the industry and creating more jobs overseas. Canada’s printing industry, which falls inside the NAFTA free trade zone, will also be handed a competitive advantage. Trade experts anticipate price increases and job losses will follow.
