Final Phase CVD Probe on China Boxes
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled the final phase of a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation into polypropylene corrugated boxes from China (HTSUS 3923.10.90 and 3923.50.00). Commerce preliminarily determined these imports were subsidized by the Government of China, so importers and sellers of these boxes should expect a final determination that could lead to countervailing duties affecting prices and timing of imports.
Antidumping Inquiries Pending for China, Vietnam
The Department of Commerce has pending preliminary antidumping determinations for polypropylene corrugated boxes from China and Vietnam; a final determination in the overall investigations is scheduled. Importers, distributors, and sellers of PC boxes from China and Vietnam may face antidumping duties if Commerce and the Commission find dumping and injury.
