Fastmarkets to amend the frequency of publication and clarification of names for four containerboard assessments in East China: pricing notice

The decision follows a one-month consultation period which ended on Monday June 15.

Fastmarkets had also proposed to clarify the names of the four containerboard assessments:

• FP-CTB-0097 Containerboard, white-top testliner, 140 g, delivered China, yuan/tonne.

As part of the process of standardizing price nomenclature for forest products, their names will be as follows:

• FP-CTB-0094 Containerboard, kraft-top liner, 170 g/square meter, ddp East China, yuan/tonne
• FP-CTB-0095 Containerboard, testliner, 140 g/square meter, ddp East China, yuan/tonne
