U.S. Sticks with Taxes on Cheap Chinese Thermal Paper Imports

Published Date: 11/18/2025

Notice

Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the special taxes on lightweight thermal paper from China because stopping them could let unfairly cheap imports flood the market again. This affects U.S. paper makers who want to stay competitive and means importers will keep paying these duties starting November 18, 2025. So, the playing field stays fair and American businesses get a boost!

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Estimated Dumping Margins Up To 115.29%

Commerce determined that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail if the order were revoked would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 115.29 percent. That margin figure is reported in the Final Results of the sunset review.

Revocation Would Likely Allow Dumping

Commerce found that revoking the antidumping duty order on lightweight thermal paper from the People's Republic of China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. This determination is applicable November 18, 2025.
