The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of paper file folders from China, India, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of India.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, Randolph J. Stayin, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of paper file folders from China, India, and Vietnam, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about January 5, 2023, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about March 21, 2023.
The Commission’s public report Paper File Folders from China, India, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-683 and 731-TA-1594-1596 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5389, December 2022) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available by January 2, 2023; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
