News » Appleton Coated wins early ruling in trade case
Mar. 3, 2010
The case isn't over, but Appleton Coated and two other paper companies are pleased with a decision in an unfair trade case.
Appleton Coated spokeswoman Ann Whalen says they're claiming that China and Indonesia are subsidizing companies that produce coated paper. She says that's putting American papermakers at a competitive disadvantage in the U.S. market.
The federal trade commission agreed, and in a preliminary ruling, imposed tariffs on the imported products.
Whalen says it's good news for workers at Appleton Coated.
The NewPage and Sappi Fine paper companies joined Appleton Coated in making the case against the imports. The International Trade Commission will make a final decision later this year. |
