USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Polypropylene Corrugated Boxes from China and Vietnam

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of polypropylene corrugated boxes from China and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value by China and Vietnam and subsidized by the government of China.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of polypropylene corrugated boxes from China and Vietnam, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations for China and Vietnam due on or about August 25, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determination for China due on or about June 11, 2025.

The Commission’s public report, Polypropylene Corrugated Boxes from China and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-757 and 731-TA-1737-1738 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5622, May 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by May 30, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
