US International Trade Commission Revises Schedule for Lightweight Thermal Paper Proceeding

Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced a revised schedule for its investigation of lightweight thermal paper from China. The investigation numbers are 701-TA-451 and 731-TA-1126 (Third Review).

The change is because there was a lapse in government funding. This stopped the Commission’s work for a time. Because of this, the schedule needed to be updated.

The Commission says the staff report will now be put into the nonpublic record on December 3, 2025. Anyone who wants to send comments about the report must do so by December 9, 2025.

This investigation is being done under title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930. The rules the Commission is following are in 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F.

People can contact Alexis Yim at the USITC Office of Investigations for more information. The phone number is 202-708-1446. Those who are hearing impaired may call the TDD terminal at 202-205-1810. People with mobility impairments may need special help to access the Commission, and they should call the Office of the Secretary at 202-205-2000.
