U.S. imports of uncoated multi-ply paper & paperboard, in rolls or sheets (SITC 64154) totaled $30.2M in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Uncoated Multi-Ply Paper & Paperboard, in Rolls or Sheets paid $218K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $2.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMulti-ply paper and paperboard is formed by bonding two or more separately formed plies together on the paper machine, allowing manufacturers to combine different fiber furnishes — such as a bleached top ply over a recycled middle ply — to achieve surface quality, stiffness, and cost targets that a single-ply sheet cannot deliver. This construction method is widely used in folding carton board, liquid packaging board, and specialty industrial boards where each ply serves a distinct functional role. Classification here requires confirmation that the product is uncoated; multi-ply boards with a surface coating are classified in different headings, making the presence or absence of any coating layer a critical documentation point.

The uncoated designation means no mineral-pigment coating has been applied to any surface of the board. Even a light clay or pigment coating applied on-machine or off-machine would move the product into a coated paperboard heading. Importers should obtain mill declarations confirming the absence of any surface coating, as the distinction directly determines the applicable SITC heading.
A typical multi-ply board might use a bleached chemical-pulp top ply for printability and brightness, a mechanical-pulp or recycled-fiber middle ply for bulk and stiffness at lower cost, and a recycled or unbleached back ply for structural integrity. This ply-by-ply design allows converters to optimize performance and cost simultaneously — an advantage that single-ply boards cannot replicate without compromising one property for another.
