USTR Asks for More Comments in AD/CVD Coated Paper Dispute with Indonesia

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is asking for stakeholder comments on the Indonesian challenge at the World Trade Organization over U.S. duties on coated paper (here). The Indonesian government formally requested a settlement panel in the dispute in mid-July, said USTR. The Court of International Trade last upheld the U.S. antidumping and countervailing duties on Indonesian coated paper in early 2013 (see 13022101). USTR asked for comments on the dispute in April, after the two countries launched consultations to reach a compromise (see 1504170012). Those talks evidently failed to yield an outcome acceptable to both parties. New comments are due Sept. 9. USTR encourages stakeholders to submit comments through www.regulations.gov, docket number USTR-2015-0005.
