The US Department of Commerce Friday announced the imposition of anti-dumping duties of 112 percent on all imports of tissue paper from China.
By law, the actual collection of the duties cannot go into effect until the International Trade Commission finds that a US industry is materially injured or threatened to be injured by reason of the unfairly traded imports.
The determination is scheduled for March the 8th, 2005. Until then, the US Customs and Border Protection Agency will require importers to post a bond or cash deposit.
The petition seeking the tissue paper dumping investigation was filed in February 2004 by seven manufacturers of tissue paper and crepe paper products and a national union.
