The U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated an investigation to determine if temporary steel fencing imported from China is being sold in the United States at less than fair value, which is known as "dumping." This investigation was prompted by a petition from ZND US Inc., a domestic producer of temporary steel fencing, alleging that these imports are harming the U.S. industry. The period under investigation spans from July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. The department will examine various factors, including price comparisons and industry support to determine whether these imports are unfairly impacting the domestic market.

Based on final determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission, the Commerce Department is issuing antidumping duty orders on paper plates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam. This decision means that additional duties will be applied to these imports because they are sold in the U.S. at less than fair value and are harming domestic industry. 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.

The International Trade Commission (ITC) will decide within 45 days whether the imports are harming the domestic industry, and if that is the case, the investigations will continue.
