U.S. exports of Pulps of Fibrous Cellulosic Material (Excluding Semichemical Wood Pulp) (SITC 25192) totaled $8.0M in August 2026.
Importers of Pulps of Fibrous Cellulosic Material (Excluding Semichemical Wood Pulp) paid $24K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 5.39% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Pulps of Fibrous Cellulosic Material (Excluding Semichemical Wood Pulp) imports of $444K in August 2026 ran 45% below the year-to-date monthly average of $804K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCellulosic pulps derived from non-wood or alternative fibrous raw materials—such as bagasse, bamboo, straw, hemp, or recycled fiber—fall here when they are not semichemical wood pulp. These alternative-fiber pulps are gaining commercial relevance as paper and packaging producers seek to diversify away from virgin wood fiber for sustainability and supply-chain reasons. Classification accuracy depends on clearly identifying the source fiber and the pulping method, since the exclusion of semichemical wood pulp is an explicit boundary condition of this heading.

This heading captures pulps made from agricultural residues (bagasse, wheat straw, rice straw), bast fibers (hemp, flax, jute), bamboo, and recycled paper fiber, provided the material is not semichemical wood pulp. The defining criterion is that the raw material is a fibrous cellulosic substance other than wood processed by the semichemical route.
Importers should obtain mill certificates identifying the source fiber, pulping process, and intended end-use. If the pulp is derived from recycled content, documentation confirming it is not a hazardous waste may be required under EPA regulations. A licensed customs broker familiar with paper-industry classifications can help ensure the correct heading is applied and that any applicable environmental compliance requirements are met.
