United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, Pittsburg, PA; Domtar Corporation, Ft. Mill, SC; Finch Paper LLC, Glen Falls, NY; P.H.
Glatfelter Company, York, PA; and Packaging Corporation of America, Lake Forest, IL. Countervailing
and/or antidumping duties may be assessed on the subject imports as a result of these proceedings if
the Commission makes an affirmative determination of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the
U.S. Department of Commerce makes an affirmative determination of subsidization and/or dumping.
Questionnaires and other information pertinent to these proceedings are available at:
http://www.usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2015/certain_uncoated_paper_australia_brazil_china/final.htm
Certain uncoated paper covered by these investigations is uncoated paper in sheet form; weighing at
least 40 grams per square meter but not more than 150 grams per square meter; that either is a white
paper with a GE brightness level1 of 85 or higher or is a colored paper; whether or not surfacedecorated, printed (except as described below), embossed, perforated, or punched; irrespective of the
smoothness of the surface; and irrespective of dimensions.
Certain Uncoated Paper includes (a) uncoated free sheet paper that meets this scope definition; (b)
uncoated groundwood paper produced from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP) that
meets this scope definition; and (c) any other uncoated paper that meets this scope definition
regardless of the type of pulp used to produce the paper.
Specifically excluded from the scope are: (1) paper printed with final content of printed text or graphics
and (2) lined paper products, typically school supplies, composed of paper that incorporates straight
horizontal and/or vertical lines that would make the paper unsuitable for copying or printing purposes.
Imports of the subject merchandise are provided for under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) categories 4802.56.1000, 4802.56.2000, 4802.56.3000, 4802.56.4000, 4802.56.6000,
4802.56.7020, 4802.56.7040, 4802.57.1000, 4802.57.2000, 4802.57.3000, and 4802.57.4000. Some
imports of subject merchandise may also be classified under 4802.62.1000, 4802.62.2000,
4802.62.3000, 4802.62.5000, 4802.62.6020, 4802.62.6040, 4802.69.1000, 4802.69.2000, 4802.69.3000,
4811.90.8050 and 4811.90.9080.
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the investigation is dispositive.
Reporting of information.-- If information is not readily available from your records, provide carefully
prepared estimates. If your firm is completing more than one questionnaire (i.e., a producer, importer,
purchaser and/or foreign producer questionnaire), you need not respond to duplicated questions.
Confidentiality.--The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. §1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a
manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
