Imported Lightweight Thermal Papers may see New Duty

Recently, the US Department of Commerce announced its preliminary decision to apply a duty ranging from 5.7% to nearly 60% to certain Chinese and German producers. The study, introduced by Appleton Papers, outlines subsidies to producers of lightweight thermal papers. These are papers used for such items as gas and grocery store receipts, sometimes known as point of purchase sales receipts. Final determination will be announced later this summer.
