The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports of high purity dissolving pulp from Brazil and Norway that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value by the governments of Brazil and Norway and subsidized by the government of Brazil.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns made affirmative determinations of present material injury. Commissioner David S. Johanson made affirmative threat determinations.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of high purity dissolving pulp from Brazil and Norway.

The Commission’s public report, High Purity Dissolving Pulp from Brazil and Norway (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-777 and 731-TA-1762-1763 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5680, October 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by October 31, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
