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

PIA testified before the ITC that our members rely on an affordable paper supply that results from choices in the marketplace, and we implored the ITC to consider the negative economic consequences the proposed rates may have had upon the printing industry. We could not be more pleased that the ITC has weighed seriously the economic facts surrounding this case. Price, quality, and geographic supply are all factors printers consider when purchasing paper. Today’s ITC vote will allow PIA/GATF members continued choice and flexibility in the marketplace, allowing them to make the best business decisions for the benefit of their individual companies, employees, and customers.
