INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-757 and 731-TA-1737-1738 (Preliminary)]
Polypropylene Corrugated Boxes From China and Vietnam
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
polypropylene corrugated boxes from China and Vietnam, provided for in
subheading 3923.10.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than
fair value (``LTFV'') and imports of the subject merchandise from China
that are alleged to be subsidized by the government of China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 90 FR 15544 and 90 FR 15555, April 14, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in Sec. 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the
[[Page 19529]]
investigations under Sec. Sec. 703(b) or 733(b) of the Act, or, if the
preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of affirmative
final determinations in those investigations under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or
735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the
preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate
appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Any other party
may file an entry of appearance for the final phase of the
investigations after publication of the final phase notice of
scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>),
for comment.
Background
On March 18, 2025, CoolSeal USA Inc., Perrysburg, Ohio; Inteplast
Group Corporation, Livingston, New Jersey; SeaCa Plastic Packaging,
Kent, Washington; and Technology Container Corp., Desoto, Texas, filed
petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry
in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material
injury by reason of subsidized imports of polypropylene corrugated
boxes from China and LTFV imports of polypropylene corrugated boxes
from China and Vietnam. Accordingly, effective March 18, 2025, the
Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-757
and antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1737-1738 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of March 24, 2025 (90 FR 13497). The
Commission conducted its conference on April 8, 2025. All persons who
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on May
2, 2025. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication
5622 (May 2025), entitled Polypropylene Corrugated Boxes from China and
Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-757 and 731-TA-1737-1738
(Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: May 2, 2025.
