Importers of Cigarette Paper in Rolls (Width Not Over 5 cm) paid $411K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $4.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNarrow-roll cigarette paper — defined by a width not exceeding 5 cm — is the primary input format for commercial cigarette manufacturing machinery, where continuous rolls feed automated rolling equipment. Austria and France are the leading US suppliers under this heading, reflecting Europe's dominance in precision specialty paper production for the tobacco industry. All imports enter under tariff line 4813200000, and buyers sourcing from non-FTA European suppliers should factor MFN duty rates into landed-cost calculations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The 5 cm (approximately 1.97 inch) width limit is the defining boundary between heading 481320 and the residual heading 481390. Rolls exceeding this width would fall outside 481320 and require classification under the NESOI provision, potentially affecting the applicable duty rate.
Both countries host long-established specialty paper mills with the precision coating and porosity-control capabilities required for commercial cigarette manufacturing. European producers have historically set the technical benchmarks for burn rate and tensile consistency that major tobacco manufacturers specify.
