As a result, additional duties are imposed on these imports to offset the subsidies. The orders include specific instructions for how duties should be assessed on paper plates from both countries, with additional retroactive duties on Chinese products due to critical circumstances.

Critical circumstances were found regarding imports from China, which will see retroactive duties applied. The orders will direct customs to require cash deposits for estimated duties on these products, except when noted for specific exporters or periods.
