Last updated: April 2026 dataNewsprint — uncoated mechanical or groundwood-based paper in rolls or sheets used primarily for newspaper printing — has seen sustained import demand decline alongside the contraction of print media circulation in the United States. Grammage (typically 40–52 g/m²) and brightness are the principal specification parameters that differentiate newsprint grades. Canada has historically dominated US newsprint supply given its proximity, integrated forest industry, and established mill infrastructure.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Newsprint is defined primarily by its mechanical or groundwood fiber content (typically over 50% mechanical pulp) and its low basis weight, generally in the 40–52 g/m² range. Higher-quality uncoated papers made from chemical pulp at higher grammages fall into separate paper and paperboard categories. Fiber composition and grammage are the key classification determinants.
Yes — the long-term decline in print newspaper readership has significantly reduced US newsprint consumption and import volumes over the past two decades. Some North American mills have converted newsprint capacity to other paper grades or packaging products. Importers should monitor mill conversion announcements as they can affect supply availability and lead times.
