Imported Canadian Newsprint Tariffs Are Reduced, But Not Eliminated, by Department of Commerce

The agency also calculated countervailing (due to Canadian government subsidies) levies of 3.38% for Catalyst, 9.53% for Kruger, 9.81% for Resolute, 0.82% for White Birch Paper and subsidy rates of 8.54%, on average, for all other Canadian newsprint producers and exporters.

Highest Duties: Canadian Newsprint Paper Manufacturer Catalyst

The most impacted manufacturer - Richmond, British Columbia-based Catalyst Paper - as might be expected, was disappointed with the Commerce Department's dumping investigation of its export practices and subsequent ruling that results in 20.26% duties being imposed on Catalyst's newsprint exports to the United States.
