The Canadian government has filed a claim with the World Trade Organization regarding the imposition of duties by China against Canadian producers of dissolving pulp (specifically viscose staple fibre pulp). Both Tembec and Fortress Paper were affected the China's import duties, which range from 13 to 23, and requested the federal government intervene. On Oct. 15, Canada made a request of the WTO for consultations with China with respect to Chinese anti-dumping duties levied on imports of cellulose pulp from Canada. The anti-dumping duties also apply to producers in the United States and Brazil.
