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

On the other end of the spectrum, Longview, Wash.-based North Pacific Paper Co. (NORPAC) - the single U.S. newsprint producer to file the complaint - was satisfied with the ruling. "As established by the [Commerce] Department’s final determination, Canadian producers have been engaged in unfair trade practices, which harm American workers and cause material injury to our industry," noted NORPAC CEO Craig Anneberg. "While we are pleased that our allegations of dumping and subsidization have been confirmed, we are disappointed that the Department of Commerce did not impose antidumping duty deposits on companies that were not investigated, instead setting the deposit rate for 'all others' at zero," Anneberg added.
