PIA Responds to ITC’s Termination of Coated Free Sheet Paper Investigation, Reversal on Imposing Duties

The following statement is from Michael Makin, President & CEO of Printing Industries of America/Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (PIA/GATF):

“PIA is a strong supporter of free and fair trade both at home and globally. As such, we commend the ITC’s vote on CFS imports and believe the ITC’s determination strikes the appropriate balance between protecting the domestic producer and the end-user of an internationally traded product. In this particular case, end-users of CFS—such as America’s printers—would have faced tariff rates on CFS imports from these three countries that, when combined, could have equaled nearly 150 percent.
