Appleton Prevails in Trade Case Against Foreign Competitors

The International Trade Commission (ITC) has supported paper manufacturer Appleton in its complaint that Chinese and German companies are trading unfairly. The commissions ruling clears the way for the U.S. Commerce Department to impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties on lightweight thermal paper imported from those countries. Appleton claimed that the Chinese government subsidized its manufacturers and that both China and Germany sold their products in the U.S. at less than fair market value.
Paper.com markets many of Appleton's paper products.
