Anti-Dumping Penalties and Your Offset Plate Supply
The 2024 USITC Ruling
In 2024, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that aluminum lithographic printing plates imported from China, Japan, and Korea were being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value (i.e., dumped) and that this practice was materially injuring the U.S. industry.
These Are Not Tariffs
The 2024 USITC ruling is not a tariff — it’s a binding enforcement action based on confirmed dumping. These duties are long-term and apply only to specific foreign-made aluminum litho plates.
The Penalties
FujiFILM China - 115.85%
Other Chinese Plates - 317.44%
FujiFILM Japan - 91.83%
FujiFILM Pricing Is Not Settled
The penalties are set — the pricing isn’t. This is the right window to start plate testing and avoid reactive decisions later.
