Yes. The US has issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on gypsum wallboard from certain countries in the past. Importers must check the current scope of any active orders with the US International Trade Commission and CBP before shipment, as scope determinations can turn on product specifications such as thickness, facing type, and end-use designation.
The key is the composition of the plaster core: boards with a core based on calcium sulfate (gypsum) are classified under 6809110010, while boards using other plaster compositions fall under 6809110080. Importers should provide material safety data sheets, product technical specifications, or manufacturer certificates of composition to support the correct line-level classification and avoid CBP examination delays.
