US trade bodies issue preliminary injury finding on cardboard box imports

US trade authorities have made preliminary affirmative injury determinations in antidumping and countervailing duty investigations into corrugated die-cut cardboard boxes from China, Malaysia and Turkey. The finding allows the investigations to continue; duty rates on box imports from the three countries would be set only in later stages.

Why this mattersA final duty order would raise landed costs for corrugated box imports from China, Malaysia and Turkey, shifting demand toward domestic US converters.

• US trade authorities made preliminary affirmative AD/CVD injury determinations on corrugated die-cut cardboard boxes from China, Malaysia and Turkey
• The determinations are preliminary and do not impose duties
• The cases cover both antidumping and countervailing duties
