On January 24, 2024, US paper plate producers filed antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) petitions against paper plate imports from China, Thailand and Vietnam claimed to be (a) dumped – i.e., sold into the United States at less than fair/normal value prices and (b) government subsidized.  AD case is against all three countries.  CVD is just against China and Vietnam.  The petition alleges dumping margins of:

• China – 142.45% to 168.45%

• Thailand – 36.97% to 42.89%

• Vietnam – 255.46% to 278.56%

Remedial AD import duties are requested for those amounts.  No specific claimed subsidy margins.
