Lightweight thermal duties sent back to ITC by federal appellate court

摘要

A US Court of Appeals panel tossed back for reconsideration dumping duties levied on German lightweight thermal paper producers by the US International Trade Commission (ITC), claiming the ITC erred more than two years ago in its consideration of duties involving Koehler Paper's 48-g paper . The reconsideration would be on 6.5% duties for Koehler - the largest thermal POS paper producer in the world with an estimated 220,000 tons/yr of capacity — and for Mitsubishi HiTec Paper, the estimated fourth largest thermal POS producer in the world with two mills in Germany, contacts said.
