Yes — antidumping and countervailing duty orders have been applied to certain coated paper grades from specific origins in past proceedings. Importers should check the US International Trade Commission and Commerce Department's active order lists before sourcing, as covered grades and country scope can change following administrative reviews.

Coated papers have a mineral or pigment layer (typically clay or calcium carbonate) applied to one or both surfaces, improving printability and gloss. Uncoated grades rely on the base sheet's surface for print quality. This distinction drives both HTS classification at the subheading level and significant price differences, so purchase orders should specify coating type, basis weight, and brightness to avoid classification disputes.
