China's Ministry of Commerce on
Thursday ended an anti-dumping investigation into coated ivory cardboard
imported from the United States. The ministry canceled the probe at the request of Chinese
domestic paper manufacturers, including Ningbo Zhonghua Paper Co., Ningbo Asia
Pulp and Paper Co., Ltd., MCC Meili Paper Industry Co. and Shandong Chenming
Paper Group Co., the ministry said in an announcement. Those companies filed for the anti-dumping investigation
into U.S. coated ivory board makers in October 2011 and requested an end to the
probe on April 2, 2013. Coated ivory cardboard is mainly used in the production of
clothing tags, postcards and packaging for cigarettes, medicine, cosmetics and
other products.
