Last updated: July 2026 dataNewsprint is a low-basis-weight, mechanical-pulp-based printing paper engineered for high-speed offset and flexographic press runs used by newspaper publishers. The US schedule subdivides the heading into standard newsprint (4801000120) and non-standard newsprint (4801000140), with a legacy consolidated line (4801000100) also present, reflecting historical tariff structure. Canada has long dominated US newsprint supply due to integrated North American mill networks, with Portugal and Australia serving as secondary sources. Importers should note that antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically applied to newsprint from certain origins, so a current AD/CVD order search is advisable before sourcing.

Standard newsprint (4801000120) refers to paper meeting conventional specifications for basis weight, brightness, and mechanical-pulp content used in traditional newspaper printing. Non-standard newsprint (4801000140) covers grades that deviate from those benchmarks — for example, higher-brightness or lighter-weight papers marketed as newsprint but not conforming to the standard definition. The distinction can affect duty treatment and should be supported by mill technical data sheets.
Yes — newsprint has been subject to trade-remedy proceedings in the US, and AD/CVD orders have been applied to imports from specific countries at various times. Importers should conduct a current search of the USITC and Commerce Department order databases before finalizing sourcing decisions, as order status, scope, and applicable rates change and vary by origin and product specification.
