U.S. imports of mechanical-fiber writing & printing paper, coated, in rolls or sheets (SITC 64134) totaled $43.5M in April 2026, traded with 22 countries.
Importers of Mechanical-Fiber Writing & Printing Paper, Coated, in Rolls or Sheets paid $2.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $26.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataClassified by its fiber composition, this grade of writing and printing paper contains more than 10% by weight of fiber obtained by mechanical process — a threshold that distinguishes it from higher-brightness, fully chemical-pulp sheets and typically results in lower brightness and faster yellowing over time. The mechanical-fiber content makes it a cost-effective choice for newsprint-adjacent publishing applications, directories, and advertising inserts where longevity is less critical than price. Importers should confirm whether the specific basis weight and coating weight push the product into a different tariff subheading, as classification boundaries in this paper family are weight- and process-sensitive.

Under SITC 64134, the defining criterion is that more than 10% of the paper's fiber content by weight comes from mechanical pulping processes. Papers falling below that threshold are classified elsewhere, so laboratory fiber analysis documentation is often required at entry to confirm correct classification.
Mechanical pulp retains lignin, which causes yellowing and reduced brightness over time compared to fully bleached chemical-pulp sheets. This makes SITC 64134 grades well-suited for short-life print runs such as catalogs, inserts, and directories, but less appropriate for archival or premium publishing applications.
