Last updated: August 2026 dataCoated and uncoated printing papers, packaging paperboard, tissue, and specialty paper products imported into the United States span a broad range of grades distinguished by fiber composition, coating weight, and end-use application. Several paper and paperboard categories have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, making trade-remedy status a routine due-diligence item for importers. Canada remains a structurally important supplier given integrated North American forest-products supply chains, while imports from Asia have grown across coated and specialty grades.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
Multiple paper grades have been subject to trade remedy proceedings over the years, including coated free-sheet paper, supercalendered paper, and certain tissue products. The specific orders in effect, the countries covered, and the applicable duty deposit rates change as Commerce Department reviews are completed. Importers should query the CBP ADD/CVD portal and USITC records to confirm current order status before executing purchase contracts.
Key classification variables include fiber composition (chemical vs. mechanical pulp content), coating status and weight (uncoated, light-coated, heavily coated), basis weight or grammage, and whether the product is in rolls or sheets. These parameters determine the applicable HTS subheading and can also affect whether a specific antidumping or countervailing duty order applies to the shipment.
