ITC Rules In Favor of Petition Citing Unfair Trade Practices

Isaac Bazbaz, president of Polytex Fibers, located in Houston, Texas, said, “We are pleased by this decision because it will enable us to compete on even terms in a business that we believe has enormous potential. It will allow us to create new jobs in Houston.”

The vote is the final determination in investigations that began on June 28, 2007, when the Laminated Woven Sacks Committee filed anti-dumping and countervailing duty petitions with the ITC and the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”). The members of the Committee are Bancroft Bag, Coating Excellence International, Hood Packaging Corporation, Mid-America Packaging, and Polytex Fibers Corporation.
