EXCLUSIVE:Pulp Mill rebuilding after China imposes tariffs
Once again the Prince Albert Pulp Mill has hit a snag on its way to being fully operational within 18 months.
The snag comes in the form of a 50 per cent tariff imposed by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China.
Dale Patterson, general manager for the mill and vice-president of Paper Excellence, the company who owns the mill, said the announcement of the tariff had been in the works for the last four or five months and was just recently put into place.
“Very recently they made some determinations on that tariff and they announced the tariff approximately five days ago,” Patterson explained on Friday afternoon.
