U.S. imports of creped, crinkled, embossed, or perforated paper, n.e.s., in rolls or sheets (SITC 64169) totaled $918K in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Creped, Crinkled, Embossed, or Perforated Paper, N.E.S., in Rolls or Sheets paid $106K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $853K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMechanically textured papers — creped, crinkled, embossed, or perforated — that do not fall under more specific SITC headings are grouped here, reflecting the diversity of specialty converting techniques applied to base paper webs. The 'N.E.S.' qualifier is critical: kraft-based creped paper (SITC 64162) and tissue-grade creped stock (SITC 64163) are excluded, so this heading captures non-kraft, non-tissue substrates such as decorative embossed papers, perforated release liners, and specialty crinkled wraps. Importers should document the base fiber type and the specific mechanical treatment to support classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Creped or crinkled kraft paper falls under SITC 64162, and creped tissue-grade stock (such as facial tissue or towel base stock) falls under SITC 64163. SITC 64169 is the residual heading for other creped, crinkled, embossed, or perforated papers — typically non-kraft, non-tissue substrates used in decorative, industrial, or specialty converting applications.
Both factors matter. The mechanical treatment (perforation, embossing, creping, or crinkling) must be present, but the base substrate determines whether the goods belong in a more specific heading first. A perforated kraft paper, for example, would be examined under the kraft paper headings before defaulting to this residual category.
