STOPP coalition forms to fight tariffs

Posted

The preliminary duties, which were assessed by the Department of Commerce in January and March, are the result of a petition filed by North Pacific Paper Company.

"The STOPP coalition is concerned that these CVD and AD duties, which range up to 32 percent combined, will saddle U.S. printing and publishing businesses with increased costs and threaten thousands of American jobs," the release said.

The coalition is asking the International Trade Commission and the U.S. Congress to reject these newsprint tariffs. STOPP has launched a new website, www.stopnewsprinttariffs.org.
