Stop Tariffs on Printers & Publishers today welcomed the ITC’s decision to terminate duties currently being applied to uncoated groundwood paper, or newsprint, imports from Canada.
We applaud the International Trade Commission (ITC) for today reaching a final, negative determination that Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper, which includes newsprint used by newspapers, do not cause material harm to the U.S. paper industry.
Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced its affirmative final determination on countervailing duties and antidumping duties on imports of uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, which includes newsprint.
In collaboration with the STOPP Coalition, we are providing the below print ad to promote and encourage signatures on a Petition to the ITC to reverse the newsprint tax. Please run on in your publications and promote the Petition to help us get to 10,000 signatures by July 17!
Today, members of the printing, publishing and paper-producing industries are announcing the formation of Stop Tariffs on Printers & Publishers (STOPP), a coalition to fight proposed countervailing and anti-dumping duties on imports of Canadian uncoated groundwood paper.
In response to the Department of Commerce’s announcement today of preliminary antidumping duties on Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper – which includes newsprint used by tens of thousands of publishers and printers in the United States.
We are stunned that a single U.S. mill (NORPAC) has been able to manipulate the trade laws to their gain, while potentially wreaking financial havoc on newspapers and other commercial publishers across the country.
