This policy was upheld by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the 1986 Georgetown Steel case. Since then, the antidumping law has been a commonly used instrument to address unfair trade practices.
"The Bush Administration will continue to vigorously enforce U.S. trade law with respect to China. Since 2001, we have issued 31 antidumping orders against China, compared to the 24 orders put into place between 1993 and 2000,” said Gutierrez. In addition:
Chinese dumping cases now represent 25 percent of all dumping orders.The United States was the first country to file a WTO case against China. In February 2007, a second WTO case was filed, challenging several Chinese prohibited subsidy programs at the WTO.
In October 2006, a U.S. manufacturer of glossy paper, the NewPage Corporation of Dayton, Ohio, asked the Department of Commerce to reconsider its longstanding policy of not applying the anti-subsidy law to China. NewPage's petition marks the first time since 1991 that a U.S. company formally requested the Commerce Department to countervail a non-market economy, such as China.
Upon publication of the decision in the Federal Register, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will collect a cash deposit or bond from importers of coated free sheet paper subject to the investigations. Also, Commerce announced its preliminary results of the countervailing duty investigations covering imports of paper from Indonesia and South Korea.
