U.S. adds duties on paper from China
From Times Wire Services
The U.S. Commerce Department said it was imposing additional preliminary duties of as much as 99.7% on imports of glossy paper from China.
The decision came in the second of two cases brought by a U.S. paper manufacturer against imports from China, South Korea and Indonesia. The paper is the type used in art books, high-end magazines, textbooks and annual reports.
In the earlier case, the Commerce Department announced March 30 that it was reversing a long-standing policy to set preliminary “countervailing duties” of as much as 20% on glossy paper from China.
