JAKARTA. Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- The United States has lifted accusation of dumping on paper product from Indonesia, local media quoting officials as saying here on Friday.

The U.S. government had announced its final decision to cancel an anti-dumping import duty and countervailing duty on the paper products from Indonesia, said Ernawati, the director of trade security at the trade ministry.

The decision made on August 2 was a result of a "sunset review" of dumping charges against Certain Lined Paper School Supplies ( CLPPS) from Indonesia.

"The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) decided that imports of CLPSS from Indonesia have caused no injuries to U.S. industries," Ernawati, the director of trade security at the trade ministry was quoted by the Jakarta globe as saying.

The "sunset review" of CLPSS products by the U.S. Department of Commerce began on August 1, 2011, but investigations into dumping and subsidy charges already began on October 7, 2005.

The petition demanding the slapping of Anti-Dumping (AD) import duties and Countervailing Duties on CLPSS products originated from the Association of American School Paper Suppliers, with Sinar Mas Group (Pabrik Tjiwi Kimia) as the Indonesian target.
