Duties on Chinese Thermal Paper Continue

The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on lightweight thermal paper from China. The Commission completed and filed this determination on January 6, 2026, so companies that import this paper should expect those duties to remain in place.

U.S. Producers Protected from Injury
