The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined on Friday March 8, 2024 that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of paper plates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China and Vietnam following votes by the Chairman David S. Johanson and three Commissioners.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations with the following milestones:
Preliminary countervailing duty determinations due on or about April 19, 2024.
Preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about July 3, 2024.
The Commission’s public report Paper Plates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-704-705 and 731-TA-1664-1666 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5499, March 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available by April 5, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
