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.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government found that some companies from Thailand are selling paper plates in America for less money than they should be, which can hurt American companies, so they might add extra costs to these plates from Thailand to make things fair.
