Commerce Confirms Continued Dumping on Crepe Paper from China
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded its fourth expedited sunset review regarding certain crepe paper products from China. The review focused on whether to revoke the antidumping duty order on these products.
Importantly, it was determined that revoking this order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping practices. This conclusion stems from a detailed analysis undertaken by the Commerce team.
On January 25, 2005, the initial antidumping duty order was published in the Federal Register. The recent review process began in earnest on February 2, 2026. Commerce issued a notice of its intent to review this order, as per the Tariff Act of 1930.
By February 3, 2026, domestic manufacturers expressed their interest in participating in the review. Their involvement reflected significant concern over the potential impacts of revocation.
No substantive response was received from respondents representing the Chinese exporters. This led to Commerce proceeding with an expedited review due to the lack of respondent input.
The final review results confirm that continuation of the antidumping measures is necessary. The dumping margins could remain significant, at rates as high as 266.83 percent.
This outcome reaffirms the ongoing concerns of domestic manufacturers about unfair pricing practices and reinforces the protection offered to U.S. industry.
All parties handling proprietary information from this review must adhere to strict guidelines concerning its return or destruction. This is in line with the regulations overseeing administrative protective orders.
The decision is now published and available for review, ensuring transparency in the enforcement of fair trade practices aimed at maintaining equitable market conditions.
