OUR RESULTS
The problem:
From 2001 through 2004, very low priced imports of decorative and gift tissue paper products from China surged. Chinese imports grew from less than 10% to nearly 50% of U.S. market share, and prices continued to drop as Chinese suppliers used aggressive pricing to take sales. Chinese imports first took market share in parts of the market that were easier to supplier, but gained share in all parts as they continued to increase. U.S. producers were driven from these parts of the market as customers shifted part then all of their purchases to Chinese products. The situation became dire as U.S. producers were forced to lay off workers, reduce production, and stop investing in their operations.
Our professionals obtained a completely successful result for the U.S. industry, leading to the imposition of special import duties in the amount of 112.64% of the imports’ value. These duties remain in place today, and dumped Chinese imports have left the U.S. market.
THE RESULTS
Special import duties = 112.64% of the imports’ value
