Preliminary Dumping Margins Set for Chinese, Indonesian Paper

In addition, the DOC noted that it is reviewing the Petitioners' allegation that undervaluation of China's currency provides a subsidy, as well as other new subsidy allegations in the China subsidy investigation, which could make a difference in the rates assessed in the final determination.

Leo W. Gerard, USW international president, said, "Commerce's announced dumping margins will begin to address Chinese and Indonesian unfair and predatory trade practices in this sector. It's high time that paper sector dumping is addressed. The loss of jobs and resulting community impact has been devastating. China's and Indonesia's practices are unacceptable and the tariff margins come as welcome news."
