Extra import taxes on paper plates
The Department of Commerce issued countervailing duty (CVD) orders that impose extra import taxes on certain paper plates from the People’s Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Importers of those paper plates will have to pay more when bringing them into the United States, and the orders take effect immediately.
Protection for U.S. paper plate makers and jobs
The CVD orders are intended to help protect U.S. paper plate companies and jobs by making certain imported paper plates from China and Vietnam more expensive. That protection is meant to take effect immediately and support domestic producers competing with those imports.
