Last updated: July 2026 dataTissue, towel, napkin, and related sanitary paper products manufactured from converted tissue stock represent one of the highest-volume segments of the paper converting industry by consumer unit count. Fiber furnish (virgin versus recycled), basis weight, and ply count are the primary specification variables that drive both pricing and classification. Import volumes in this category are sensitive to domestic capacity utilization, as the US has substantial tissue manufacturing infrastructure, making landed-cost competitiveness a key factor for importers.

For US Customs classification purposes, fiber source (virgin versus recycled) does not typically change the HTS subheading for finished tissue products. However, recycled-content claims on product labeling may be subject to FTC Green Guides requirements, and some institutional procurement contracts specify minimum recycled content. Importers making recycled-content claims should ensure they have supplier documentation to substantiate those claims.
Certain tissue and towel products from specific origins have been subject to antidumping investigations and orders. The scope of any applicable order is defined at the HTS subheading level and by product specification. Importers should check the current status of any AD/CVD orders covering their specific product and origin with a licensed customs broker before finalizing sourcing.
