The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of paper plates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China and Vietnam.
Chair Amy Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from China, Thailand, and Vietnam, and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from China and Vietnam.
The Commission made an affirmative critical circumstances finding with regard to imports of this product from China.[1] The Commission made negative critical circumstances findings with regard to imports of this product from Thailand and Vietnam.[2]
The Commission’s public report Paper Plates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-704-705 and 731-TA-1664-1666 (Final), USITC Publication 5595, February 2025) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
