Description

This notice from the U.S. International Trade Commission announces the denial of a request to institute a review under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 regarding affirmative determinations on imports of certain coated paper from Indonesia. The request argued that significant structural changes in the Indonesian industry warranted a review, but the Commission found the evidence insufficient to demonstrate changed circumstances. The notice includes background on prior investigations and orders related to coated paper imports from Indonesia and China, and explains the Commission's rationale for denying the review request.
