Preliminary Tariffs Imposed Against Asian Paper Sources

A final resolution on the unfair trade cases is expected later in the year.

"Once all of the evidence has been reviewed, the facts of the market will show that APP has not illegally dumped paper in the United States," said Terry Hunley, acting president, Asia Pulp and Paper Americas (APP). "We have seen unfavorable preliminary rulings in the past only to have them rejected in the final analysis because a complete review of the paper market confirms the U.S. industry has not been injured and duties are unwarranted. That will be the end result here, too."
