Coin Tissues,wet tissues,Non Woven towel-Cutting toilet paper duty 'bad for jobs'

(2010-01-18 23:29:59) Jobs in Australia could be lost if a decision to drop dumping duties imposed upon toilet paper imported from China and Coin Tissues Indonesia stands, says a local manufacturer.

United States-owned Kimberly-Clark wet tissues Australia (KCA) said a recent decision by federal Attorney-General Non Woven towel Robert McClelland to drop the dumping duties could threaten the competitiveness of the local toilet paper industry.

KCA has about 700 of its 1,500 employees engaged in the manufacture of tissue paper at Millicent in South Australia.

KCA's general manager of corporate services in South Asia, Ross Hearne, said on Thursday that a significant barrier to unfair trade (the dumping duties) had been removed.

Dumping occurs when the export price of a product is less than the "normal" value of the same product in the domestic market of the country of export.[ Page closed ] [ Print ]
