Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) is part of a Congressional coalition from Ohio asking the International Trade Commission to protect U.S. paper manufacturers from foreign competitors.
Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) joined Turner in authoring a letter calling for the continuation of dumping margins on lightweight thermal paper imports from Germany and China. Appvion Papers, which has manufacturing operations in Ohio, produces the same product.
“Enforcing our trade laws is absolutely essential to ensuring that American workers can compete on a level playing field in the global marketplace,” Turner said. “I was proud to join with Sen. Portman and Sen. Brown in a bipartisan request to extend the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain lightweight thermal paper from China and Germany. I am hopeful that the U.S. International Trade Commission will provide this extension and ensure that unfair trade practices do not hinder the ability of our companies to successfully create American jobs.”
Dumping is a predatory pricing model that occurs when manufacturers export a product at a price lower than what is charged in its home market or below cost of production.
