WRF International Trade Group Secures Win in Antidumping Investigation Before the U.S. International Trade Commission

April 13, 2004

Washington, DC—The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is neither materially injured nor threatened with material injury by reason of imports of certain wax and wax/resin thermal transfer ribbons from France and Japan. WRF attorneys Alan H. Price and Daniel B. Pickard represented the French producer in this case.

All six ITC Commissioners voted in the negative. As a result of the Commission's negative determinations, no antidumping orders will be issued on imports of certain wax and wax/resin thermal transfer ribbons from France and Japan. The Commission's public report Certain Wax and Wax/Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons from France and Japan (Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1039-1040 (Final), USITC Publication 3683, April 2004) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
