On October 8th 2024, domestic manufacturers in the United States officially filed a petition requesting an investigation into trade remedy measures for imported thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam.
This move is believed to be aimed at protecting the domestic industry from concerns over unfair dumping and subsidies from exporting countries, which have led to unfair competition in the U.S. market. The petition calls for the U.S. government to consider applying anti-dumping and countervailing duties to maintain a balanced trading environment.
