The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates from China and Japan that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.
Chair Amy Karpel and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. Commissioner David S. Johanson voted in the negative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue a countervailing duty order on imports of this product from China and antidumping orders on imports of this product from China and Japan.
The Commission made negative critical circumstances findings with regard to imports of this product from China.
The Commission’s public report on Aluminum Lithographic Printing Plates from China and Japan (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-694 and 731-TA-1641-1642 (Final), USITC Publication 5559, November 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available by December 2, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: http://pubapps.usitc.gov/applications/publogs/qry_publication_loglist.asp.
Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and additional information for these investigations can be found at the Commission’s Investigations Database System (IDS).
