Indonesian Paper Products' Charges Lifted

Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The United States has announced its final decision cancelling anti dumping import duty  and countervailing duty on paper products from Indonesia.

The decision on August 2 was a result of "sunset review"  of dumping charges against Certain Lined Paper School Supplies (CLPSS)  from Indonesia.

"The  United States International Trade Commission (USITC) decided that imports of CLPSS  from Indonesia have caused no injuries to the US industries," Ernawati, the director of trade security at the trade ministry, said .

The USITC, however, maintained the sanctions against  CLPSS products from China  and  India on  allegedly causing potential material losses to the US industries.

The "sunset  review" of CLPSS products   by the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) began on August 1 in 2011  but investigations into dumping and  subsidy charges already began on October 7 in 2005.(DWA)
