Last updated: July 2026 data

Corrugated paperboard cartons, boxes, and cases are the backbone of modern e-commerce and consumer-goods logistics, providing structural protection through the fluted medium bonded between flat linerboards. As manufactured articles rather than raw paperboard, these products are classified by their corrugated construction and end-use form rather than by fiber content or grammage. Import volumes in this category reflect global supply-chain activity, and certain origins have been subject to antidumping scrutiny, making origin documentation and scope analysis a routine compliance step for importers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have corrugated box imports from any countries been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty proceedings?

Yes — corrugated paperboard containers from certain origins have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. Importers should consult the USITC and Commerce Department order databases to determine whether an active order covers the specific product and country of origin before filing entry.

How does the classification of a corrugated carton differ from that of the corrugated paperboard sheet used to make it?

Flat corrugated paperboard in rolls or sheets is classified as a paper or paperboard product, while a formed carton, box, or case made from that board is classified as a manufactured article under the packaging articles heading. The conversion from flat board to a formed container is the key step that changes the classification.
