Port Hawkesbury Paper responds to US CVD petition against SC imports from Canada

摘要

The U.S. International Trade Commission has voted to continue the countervailing duty petition against Canadian SC paper producers, which will now be referred to the Department of Commerce for further investigation. Although Port Hawkesbury Paper and others presented evidence that importation of supercalendered paper from Canada did not cause injury to the US market, the statutory threshold for petitioners at this preliminary stage is very low, and it would be highly unusual for any countervailing duty petition to be dismissed at this stage.
