📦Initiation of LTFV Investigations on Polypropylene Boxes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated anti-dumping investigations regarding imports of polypropylene corrugated boxes from China and Vietnam. This decision follows allegations that these imports are being sold at less-than-fair value, impacting domestic manufacturers and prompting potential regulatory duties. Exploratory sessions for industry feedback on the product scope and characteristics are outlined.
