USITC Keeps Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Indonesian Coated Paper in Place
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The notice keeps existing US trade duties on certain coated paper from Indonesia in place. The US International Trade Commission refused to open a changed-circumstances review requested by Indonesian paper producers, saying they did not provide enough evidence that Indonesia’s coated paper industry had permanently reduced capacity or shifted away from exports. For US importers, paper buyers, domestic paper producers, and Indonesian exporters, the practical result is no change: the antidumping and countervailing duty orders continue. Businesses dealing in coated paper for high-quality sheet-fed printing should continue pricing, sourcing, and compliance planning on the assumption that the current duties remain active.

Key Changes
- The USITC denied the request to start a changed-circumstances review for Indonesian coated paper.
- Existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on covered Indonesian coated paper remain in force.
- The Commission found the request did not provide enough evidence of lasting industry changes that would justify a full review.
Obligations
What this law requires
Continue treating antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of certain coated paper suitable for high-quality print graphics using sheet-fed presses from Indonesia as active; the Commission declined to institute a changed-circumstances review and dismissed the petition.
Do not assume revocation or modification of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders based on the denied Section 751(b) request; pricing, sourcing, and import compliance planning should continue under the existing orders.
