The Department of Commerce has determined that certain uncoated paper from Portugal was sold in the U.S. at prices below usual value from March 1, 2018, to February 28, 2019. As a result, the department calculated specific antidumping duties for different importers based on the dumping margin observed. These duties are intended to address unfair pricing and aim to maintain fair competition. The Federal Register notice also outlines the process for assessing these duties and the required actions from importers to ensure compliance.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Commerce found out that some paper from Portugal was being sold in the U.S. for too cheap, which isn't fair to the people making paper here; so they decided to add extra costs, called duties, to make it fair again.
