Coated Paper Trade Cases

NPES continues its longstanding support of free, fair international trade policy that enforces existing trade laws, and provides a level playing field for Association members’ products in global markets. In that light, NPES is monitoring the unfair trade practice cases filed by three U.S. paper manufacturers and a workers’ union, which allege that China and Indonesia are harming the U.S. paper industry by providing unfair support to their domestic paper manufacturers that export to the United States. Opponents of the cases fear the repercussions of increased paper prices that could result from the imposition of duties on coated paper from China and Indonesia.
