How the Battle Began
On Sept. 23, 2009, three large U.S. paper makers, and the United Steelworkers Union (Petitioners), filed a petition with the DOC and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), in which they accused China and Indonesia of "dumping" certain coated paper into the U.S. market and receiving unjust subsidies from foreign governments. "Dumping" occurs when a foreign company sells products in the U.S. at less than fair market value. Subsidies means that foreign companies receive financial assistance from foreign governments that benefit exportation of goods. The American paper manufacturers have alleged the U.S. paper industry is being hurt by foreign government-subsidized Asian coated paper.
