Alliance Joins Stakeholder Letter Urging ITC to Reject Tariffs on Printing Plates

The News/Media Alliance joined a coalition letteron September 13 urging the International Trade Commission (ITC) to oppose antidumping and countervailing duties on imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates from Japan and China. These duties were preliminarily imposed earlier this year at an excessive rate of 200% (China) and 87% (Japan) to these printing plates, which are used in the United States to print newspapers, magazines, books, and other printed materials. The ITC will hold a hearingon September 17 to decide whether to continue to allow these duties.
