The U.S. International Trade Commission determined that paper plates imported from China, Thailand, and Vietnam are harming U.S. industry because they are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices, and some are receiving subsidies from China and Vietnam. This decision followed an investigation that started on January 25, 2024, after receiving petitions from the American Paper Plate Coalition. The Commission's final ruling and details are documented in a publication released in March 2025. The planned public hearing for this issue was canceled when no parties requested to attend.

The Department of Commerce found that certain carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand are being sold in the U.S. at lower than normal value, which could be considered dumping, during the period from March 1, 2018, to February 28, 2019.

The review has led to changes in the dumping margins for some companies, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection will now assess duties based on these final results.

Interested parties can submit written comments, but they must adhere to specific guidelines and deadlines.

The United States International Trade Commission has announced the cancellation of a public hearing regarding investigations into paper plates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam. Originally scheduled for January 23, 2025, the hearing was canceled after the American Paper Plate Coalition withdrew its request to appear.

The Department of Commerce has determined that two Thai companies, COFCO Biochemical and Niran, sold citric acid and citrate salts in the U.S. at prices below normal value during the specified review period, leading to antidumping duties being assessed on these sales. However, they found that Sunshine Biotech did not sell these products below normal value. The final results of this review mean that these antidumping duties will be applied to affected entries, and specific cash deposit rates are now being implemented for future imports from these firms, except when the margins are minimal. The notice also reminds importers of their responsibilities regarding antidumping duties and the handling of proprietary information.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that paper plates imported from Thailand are being sold in the United States at less than fair value for the period of January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. This conclusion is based on findings that several Thai companies did not provide required information, leading to higher dumping margins for them. Consequently, the Department will continue to suspend the liquidation of these imports. The International Trade Commission will assess whether U.S. industries are harmed by these imports to decide on imposing duties.

Interested parties are invited to comment on these findings, and the Commerce Department will consider these comments before issuing the final results. If the final results remain the same, no antidumping duties would be assessed, and different cash deposit requirements could apply to future shipments.
