United States Government Cracks Down on Imports of Chinese-Made Biaxial Geogrids [PDF]
http://enforcement.trade.gov/download/factsheets/factsheet-prc-biaxial-integral-geogrid-products-cvd-prelim-062016.pdf
Editors Note:
The USA have ruled to impose Additional Import Duty on Chinese Geogrids to offset the effect of concessions and subsidies granted by China to its Geogrid exporters. The imposition of this so-called countervailing duty (CVD) is an attempt to bring the imported price of Chinese Geogrids to their true market price, and thus to provide a level playing field to the domestic American Geogrid producers.
